Thanx for the clarification on your post.
I am currently reading your article:
" It's a System Part 2: The Shell ",found in the magizine, KOI USA Vol. 31 Issue 6.
Its another must read for anyone new to Koi Ponds,(
KOI USA Magazine - July/August 2007, Volume 32, Issue 1) is the link for anyone interested. For back issues call 949-548-3690. By the by I will be using this periodical for reference in the future. I guess what I am trying to say it isn't like some other magizines where you read it then toss it.
Between your article and your post this has helped.
It is becoming more apparent that I maybe waiting longer than I first anticipated before I get to put shovel to dirt. But at least I will feel as if I have done my homework!!
Thanks Vince
