To get you started, here is a brief overview of the basics to creating that perfect pond for your garden.
Where to place your pond
First off, you will need to work out which is the best place in your garden to begin digging the hole that will be the basis of your pond. The size of the garden will determine the width and depth of the pond. If you plan on keeping fish in it, it is important to consider the depth of the pond. It needs to be deep enough to give the fish plenty of space to move around in, especially if the upper water level freezes over. Another way to keep your fish –and plant life- happy is to avoid positioning the pond under trees or other shaded areas. Make sure the sun can reach your pond.
