  • Tom Burton has been a mentor for me after I built my first pond. I met him at a Mid Atlantic Koi Club Meeting and he taught me everything he knows about koi ponds ince then. When you walk into his garden, you feel like you are visiting another country, Japan. He has created his own "Japanese Garden" right in his own backyard.

    Oooooh, *TOM* Burton! For a second, I read that as "Tim Burton's pond" and I imagined a misty pond with black water, grotesque fishes and twisted skeletal trees.

    @Skaldi3 11 лет назад

    In my backyard we have a wood, and a tiny trickle of a stream it's a tributary that leads directly into a swamp, and later into a local canal. I was thinking of perhaps changing it up and putting in a waterfall and koi pond between where it streams in and where it streams out, with a self-sustained solar pump. I was reading about naturally drawing nitrogenated water up to garden beds 5 stories above this little area which I would love to do.

    I am so impressed with this design. I am so hooked on these interesting fish. I live in Jersey and started collecting in 2012. I would like to learn so much more. I've tried to find people or clubs nearby that are dedicated to these jewels. I have two ponds, 7,000 gallon and a smaller 300 gallon. Hopefully this summer I will be adding another 1,000 gallon pond. Where in Jersey are you located? Thank you for taking the time to give advice. I'm sure it has helped save many koi.

    Nice pond i recently build my own is about 3k gallons ,I will get some koi soon I want the beneficial bacteria to settle down first and if course i see that you have no rocks in the bottom of the pond which is the way to raise koi i hear i took my rocks after so much sludge settle under them which that will eventually cause diseases on koi,nice pond

    Hello Tom,
    this is one of the beautifulest and nicest garden i have ever seen before. i love your video - an i agree with you completly. one of the important things of an real koi hobbyst should be a microskope. it is not very difficult, to use an microskope - but it helps so much to keep koi alive!
    Thank´s for this nice video!

      18 inch depth is ridiculous. I guess he has no winter where he lives, also Predators will love that. It gives the fish nowhere to go

    With Koys All you do is let them feed quite a bit more than what you usually do right before winter and then during winter do not feed them at all because they need heat to be a will to digest their food and just place A few small heaters and a few floating balls to keep some of the water unfrozen

    I loved your pond.. I have a similar setting in Miami , FL .. a Japanese friend told me that in Japanese people has a name for Non-japanese people that love the japanese culture. such as ourself. I was concern about your dept. 18", and predators, bu i am sure that has been taken care of . my pond is 3.5' deep. to prevent birds and raccoons. to attack my fish.. my fish comes to me for feeding time, but i still haven't been able to train them to eat out of my hand.
