Pond Success and Pond Failures
Creating and maintaining a pond can be a wonderful experience but you will want to avoid common pitfalls and problems. A new pond must be dug in the right place. Landscape considerations are important but must be balanced with practicalities. It is no good spending a fortune on a lake in front of your house if there is going to be insufficient run-off to fill it or the water leaks out once it gets there.
Stocking a pond with water plants or fish can be equally tricky. Get it right and you will have a wonderful asset. Plant the wrong species or introduce inappropriate fish and you may have a tangled, weedy mess, an ecological disaster or even find you have broken the law on non-native introductions.
Some people like formal garden lakes, other prefer more natural ponds with wildlife conservation as a primary aim. Understanding what you want from your new pond or your pond restoration project is an important first step. Take expert pond advice before you start or to refresh a pond project that has gone wrong.
