I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Sweet! If you put your ear to your computer you can actually hear water trickiling. :D

The palm all the way to the right is my new Cyphophoenix elegans. The only thing left to do is dig my conduit line to behind the skimmer , where that patch of sand is. Right now I am running it off aextension cord :unsure:

That sod you laid less than 2 months ago has sure taken a beating.

Dude, that's awesome!

Yes indeed. We put the cart before the horse and put the grass in before the final hardscaping and landscaping. Lesson learned.

Laura,

I ordered the micro-palm kit from thepondguy.com and it's max size I could go with the given liner was 8' X 11"' by 2' depth. I went way shorter so my pond is like 6.5' X 3' very small for my limited backyard. But it works!

Way Cool, love the palms selection Vince.

When are you going to take up more sod and put some palm in the ground. LOL!

Good Job.
