My pond

Hi guys,

I'm new here, and am interested in all aspects of gardening. I thought you may like to see the pond I dug with my trusty spade and wheelbarrow in 2000.

I added three 1.25 inch mirror carp in 2000 and one died this year weighing in at 3.25 lbs. I also added 9 rudd which multiply each year.

I too kthis picture 2 years ago and things have moved on quite a bit since then.

 

Hi Rich
Very impressive - would love to have a pond like that but I think it would take up third of my garden at least! Look forward to seeing a new pic.

 

Yeah nice and natural looking, looks like its been there for years and years. I think thats the secret with ponds, unless of course you like the really formal types.

 

Lovely pond - I am deeply envious.

 

I too this last month. At night.

 

Hi Rich.
Now that's what I call a pond
Love one like that but safty is an issue here,have to keep mine meshed over,pity.
Nice shots,could do with you for a neighbour with your skills.

 

Hi Rich, What a magical pond by night, Seen any fairies yet?

 

Loved the night view of your pond rich.

I've set it as my desktop wallpaper and it looks fantastic.

 

Ooh that's gorgeous!

 

Fantastic!! Well done!

 

Thanks guys.

I have two problems with it.

1. The Gunnera manicata will not grow bigger than about 2 feet. I dug it up in the winter and replanted it in a plastic sheet to hold water, but it hasn't made any difference.

2. I've sprung a leak in the top pond. Weather permitting I will spend Sunday trying to discover where it is.
