DIY Garden Pond Update | Water Temps and Winterizing | Part 6

In this video I prep for the first winter. A simple process. The bulk of this is measuring water temps at depth/s and comparing the variations in temperature under different weather conditions. This was mainly to get an idea of how ground temperature effects water temperature. The cost of this build was around $3k because I did all the work alone. This would cost between $15-$25k to be done by pros. That's not including the well dig either. Well digs are also very costly. It only cost me the tools.
