Cob with living roof

[Patrick Hayes]

If you are looking for pond liner materials, we here @ Real Goods do carry
such a material.  Our catalog is available online @ WWW.realgoods.com.  I
also a have some I am hoping to get to a good home.  it is an overrun from a
pond we did here in Hopland.  It can be seamed together fairly easily and is
made to last a lifetime.  Please reply to me in person if you want to talk
more about this liner.
