So having removed a few shrubs I was left with some big holes. My brain decided that if I join these together its a good way towards a pond so may as well keep digging seeing as the sun was out.
I've now realised that their is a good reason that you should really plan out a pond otherwise you'll make stupid mistakes... like being too close to the fence, the shelves being to small, location for sunlight is very important so 75% shaded is not great. All of which I'm hoping I can work around with plant choices, mostly being marginal ferns.
Having dug the hole I got on the phone to a local business and had a bunch of rocks delivered, suprisingly cheaply, as well as a next day pond liner from eBay.
In order to help the critters out I remembered seeing a you tube video ages ago about a pond build where they added a hibernarium, it looked easy enough so added one on the end of the bank.
This is as far as I've got in the build, hopefully I'll get it finished off next week.
I did order 30 odd 9cm pots of plants ready to scape it up
