Happy Pondering ;)
Nice vid John, as always. I'm just a DIY guy when it comes to backyard water features, but I do work in stream restoration and have a keen interest in riparian systems. On that note, I think that offcuts could also be used effectively in the reservoir of pondless systems. I personally find the common practice/trend of having a beautiful set of waterfalls suddenly dropping onto and disappearing into a flat bed of gravel to be really jarring because it's something you'd never find in nature. Where as, if a bit of liner was placed in a bowl shape and covered in larger gravel, this could at least allow a final plunge/scour pool to form below the bottom falls when water's in motion, before disappearing into a gravel 'bar' and stream bed below. This is still a bit odd, but it's a more plausible feature you might find in nature.
From my outsider observations, the water feature industry in general tends to hide the top of their systems pretty well, but I think that there's a lot of room for improvement in naturalising and creating a bit more mystery at the bottom. Just my two cents, but with your beautiful work and no bullshit approach, I think you're the man to help steer them in that direction.
Keep up the good work, Cam
That is great insight! I will push the team to try that on the next build. We will call it the "Cam Style" Reservoir!!
@@KoiAddiction no worries John. Maybe call it the 'oxymoron reservoir', since it's a ponded pondless approach
John that is a great idea to save on water loss which affects overall water flow and like you said less foam used but used more effectively. Love your ideas you share.
It is the little things😎Thanks for tuning in with us!
@@KoiAddiction That's funny on your reply. That is one of my most consistent replies.
"It is the little things - That make a big difference"
I don't do this for a living and I'm too old to start, but these little tips you share are incredible for us DIY guys. The water in motion series was eye opening. It all happens in our little feature, but I never put a value to it or understood the why and how until you explained it. I'm collecting old milk crates to substitute for aqua blocks.This all started for me when I learned about aquaponics and the CHOP and CHOP 2 configurations. Every landscape is different and the layouts can't always be ideal, but the principles you teach are key to a practical design. I don't want to lose a lot of water if the pump is turned off. I'm still figuring it out and I thank you for the informative knowledge you share.
It is my pleasure and I appreciate your positive (and engaging) feedback. Every once in a while someone like you makes a genuine “thanks” comment and it always reminds me why I do what I do🙏😎
John! Can’t begin to tell you how helpful all of the videos are! Appreciate them and your team! -mattt
Good stuff! Glad it is helping you all get it done!
Great Tips as always 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
What’s up man hope you’re doing well and I appreciate you tuning in :-) you guys keep rocking in the free world
Your videos have really helped my pond come together. Thank you
My compliments on the music.
Lol thanks👍🏻😎
love the videos. Doing my on DIY pond with tips from your channel. Id like to see more videos on plants. Where to plant certain things and what is safe to plant in pond. I fear roots growing through the liner.
I will put it on my video list! Thanks for tuning in😎
Thank you.. again :)
You're welcome 😊
Tips like this, is one of my favorite parts of your channel. These are definitely pro tips that you're sharing. Really appreciate you! Wishing you much success in your business! 🥰
Thanks Vincent! We appreciate you staying with us on the channel!
😎😎😎😎 awesome video! Great explanation!!
Thanks, its a short video but relevant🤟🙄
Modern Design Aquascaping Inc. absolutely!!!
Another helpful video!
I think us DIY guys forget this tip. Carl from Columbia water gardens has a video where he use underlayment and filled it with sand and then melted the underlayment with the heat gun and then put the bib liner over top of it. What's your thoughts on that?
Sounds like it would work but also sounds like a lot of work?!
love the video
Thanks for tuning in!!!
Great video and explanation! Question - I’ve done bibs with liner and also underlayment (I think I heard April say foam sticks better to it). Any reason to use one over the other?
Whatever I have scraps of😎😂🤣
Thanks
My pleasure ;)
So the foam is more of a barrier than a sealant? 95% will go where you direct it to go, but that means 5% will still leak through. However, the main liner underneath will capture that leakage and it will eventually make its way back out to the main body of water? Did I hear you right on that? Seems like a solid way to avoid using 35 cans of foam, that's for sure.
Yep you got it! Foam is expensive and it is good use (re-purposing)
Thanks John - great video. I was thinking about this very issue. I notice that you say it is for use around large boulders. Do you think for a DIY build where I'll be using smaller boulders (12 inch diameter boulders) that I could get away with this? Or would you recommend seaming together a scrap liner instead?
If there is potential for water to sneak through or under, bib liner is good. Underlayment works well too. Whatever you need just try to “1 piece it”-many small pieces will seep and fail!
How do you clean the gun part of that spray foam sprayer?
I let it dry and scrape it with a razor knife!
