Hello, This week and next I have some extra help around the house--brother is 
visiting, and he is going to put in a new pond for me. I am thinking a small 
pond (I have a preform 40 gallon one that we can move--probably not ideal but 
do-able) with filtration plants and a small waterfall/stream that leads from 
it into the larger (new) pond. The larger pond will only a few feet across. 
These will be close to a downspout, north side of the house, garden is about 
thirty or forty feet away. My question is, can I eventually turn this design 
into part of a greywater system and if so what should I be thinking about 
right now, this week, as they build it? I know there are excellent books on 
the subject and I have looked at what Toby says about greywater and really 
want to do this eventually...but they are buying materials tomorrow so I 
don't have much time to read up on it all right now. Are these ponds too 
small to incorporate into a greywater system? I'm thinking fish in the larger 
bottom pond and then I can get tadpoles started in the upper smaller pond and 
the fish won't eat them. And eventually some unkinkable hose to a drip system 
in the garden?
    Thanks for any advice...      Kathy in St. Louis
