FREE EBOOK HOW TO CREATE A GARDEN POND
January 8, 2010 – 2:09 am | by
A garden pond, with the right planning and stocked with the right kind of aquatic plants and fish, will be a marvellous asset to your garden, attracting a great many wild animals and eventually becoming a miniature nature reserve. It is possible to have a pond which is self sustaining, requiring only the occasional maintenance to keep it in good condition.
A very large pond is often difficult to access and you have to keep in mind where you would put all the water if, for any reason, it had to be emptied and, how would you do it? On the other hand, a very small pond may require constant attention as it may not be large enough to sustain itself.
Ponds do not have to include fish, or even plants, but a pond without one or the other would be pretty boring and become stagnant in a matter of weeks if the water remained still. However, make sure your plants are established before adding fish to the pond as initially the fish want somewhere to hide. Until now they have never been in anything bigger than a fish tank and being transferred into a garden pond must be rather traumatic.
