My husband and I decided to do more than just bowl-out the sides of the 2000
gp. We went to Lowe's and bought some wood to make forms, 1600 lbs of
Quickcrete, rebar etc. We're going to make a more permanent berm besides
bowling out the sides which were initially made too straight. We're also
going to incorporate land cloth to block the weeds and tree seedlings that
are a constant problem in the rock necklace and net. To discourage
predators we're also removing much of the dense, overgrown plantings around
the ponds. This is turning into quite a project in the heat of summer. It
will probably take a few weeks.

The koi are doing great in the temporary pool they're in and have spawned
again. I wont try to save any of these as I have enough fry for quite
awhile.
