These guys seem to also agree. A group of Biologists in the US who have been building natural ponds for years with substance and without fanfare: http://www.aquahabitat.com/ponds.html Oh and their work actually look like ponds instead of funky pools.

I had read those stories back in 2002 or so. It is funny how old reported items become news again. It is kind of like the green movement. It is hip to be green now when the Mother Earth community was trying to get the message out years ago. Finally the message has gotten out!! Even though the pond issue is not new, it is worth reporting because a new generation gets to learn about it. Peter, you beat me to providing the Mother Earth News links.

Thanks to Peter for the two Mother links to articles one can become immersed in. While I agree with Tom that the item was eyely ecstatically pleasing, it was deeply surficial.
