    Why is my pond water milky?

    You could always vacillate or temporise instead. So you could spend a little extra time trying to decide between all of them :thumbsup:

    In need of some advice about a neglected pond

    Well, I just found a small brown newt while clearing some brambles. It was perfectly healthy and I moved it to a safer space near the pond where I won't accidentally cause it any harm.

    Looking at my formal ponds today and I'm going to have to lift the slabs and put in place some sort of flat, metal strip to support them. My concreting and bricklaying days are over :biggrin:

    Identity please

    I thought having a bridge and pebbles at the Base if the pond with pebbles at the shallow end leading to a beach area was enough. Hopefully the plants will help matters this year
