Took some pictures a year later! Think it’s bedded in well! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used these bags https://www.swelluk.com/velda-plant-sock/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwnueFBhChARIsAPu3YkS_plqv1uYmWzADDxltJIWC3o3m-Q5YQNLezbx3kwstTxCZ57Dwj5EaAtunEALw_wcB for the plants either side of the waterfall. They house grasses, iris, reeds and some other stuff. My only issue was lack of space...

Thanks mort! I presume by doing that you remove the pump and any water to prevent stagnation and pipes freezing up? Am I daft to consider covering the pond with insulation cold frame material? The lobelia is pretty much 6” tall. It was beautiful at its prime! Will be adding more next year...

Getting to the point where I need to start thinking about winter proofing my pond. Reading up on line, like always, is a mass of contradiction. Turn off your pump, don’t turn off you pump, feed your fish, don’t feed your fish, remove your plants, leave your plants... and so on. So I’ll ask...

Just ordered some of these along with other recommendations! Thank you again Darrel! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bit of an update, still waiting on plants that I ordered a month ago, I understand things are a bit difficult at the moment but a month is a Bit of a joke! Anyway! Still need to plug the gaps of the rocks with alpines and small ground cover plants. (Recommendations welcome) Sent...

Fancy selling some Darrel? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s ridiculous! Thanks pal! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks really nice pal! If you ever have too much would happily take some off your hands! Can’t believe how much pond plants are! They’re literally weeds [emoji2959] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] 51 meters in total! From house to the very end! We have a 11 meter long allotment at the end! It’s taken some time, effort and money to get it where it is! We bought the house from two elderly hoarders! It was a state! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Darrel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can anyone identify this plant please! Just want to find it’s care requirements Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, all pond solutions have let me down, still no filter, but thought there’s no harm in cracking on! All filled, can hardly see any liner, and where you can I’ll be planting creeping Jenny. Had a bit of a level issue with the barrow end, solved this by raising the bank level...

Thanks fox! I completely understand what you mean! I was going to do similar to that but have a gravel border around the stones to make cutting the grass easier, similar to this : Think I might cement the stones down in order to prevent the gravel doing in the pond! Sent from my...

Thanks pal! Yeah I’ve enjoyed it! Keeping my mind off things! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right, it’s dug, 3,8” deep, I hit clay so though since I’m not gonna keep koi I can leave it there. My question is, how would you lot go about edging it? I have these stones and a lot more if needed, to use but unsure on how to go about it! My idea was to dig round a 2” shelf, place...

Not sure what you mean return the water, I will be putting a return pump leading back to the filter. If that’s what you mean?! As for the back of a pond, there will be 30cm of stone before the pond starts, access will be tricky but nothing a scaffolding board won’t cover. Either that or I’ll...

Thanks alto! It’s taken a lot of work but getting closer to the end result! The re-homing aspect is easy, a work colleague, who I will be getting the fry/yearlings from has a 35000L koi pond with best part of £10k worth of filters. But I understand where everyone is coming from. I will maybe...

Thanks for the reply! I’ve done a fair bit of reading already! Not only on pond building but koi as well. I understand their requirements with regards size of pond and water needs. I would be buying 3-4” koi, and moving them on when they got too big anyway. Nothing too big. Sent from my...

Yeah, they’re broken paving just to mark out, will be using York stone around the edge! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, I’ve wanted a pond for as long as I can remember. The wife gave the go ahead so I’ve started looking into it! Got a bit excited and did a quick layout. Looked into pumps/filters and liners so will list what I’ve seen below! I want to keep koi in there as well as some others probably...
