Hiya Jocie,
Really liked your ideas, and am curious about moss. What kind of moss and where would I find it? I think I could use it to help cover part of my liner that I can't get rocks to cover. Good idea!

I don't know what kind of moss I used--Some is white cushion moss and others are um- mossy mossinesses. LOL
We have a ton of various mosses growing on the property, lots under trees that hubby has been cutting down. For lining the edge of the pond I find mosses that grow in sheets and anchor them with rocks at the top. Then the rest of them just hangs down the sides and soaks up water from the pond. Works good!

Well thank you! Maybe I'll just have to find some growing naturally around here. I was wondering if you were using spanish moss, but that probably doesn't give the same look at all.

Ohhh- but that WOULD be very pretty hanging off rocks and limbs though.
