Long story short I was digging for a vegetable patch at my brothers new house and discovered the previous owners asbestos garage. A few less than fashionable suits and respirators later and it's clear but don't want to put anything planty there so it's going to be a pond.
The asbestos mine was part of a soakaway with a few tonnes of rubble so was considering directing the drain pipes into the pond as a top up system. The catchment area is a (guessing) 6x5m garage with felted roof, and pond likely to be a couple of thousand litres at most. I know from researching the roof material that it's safe but was wondering if large influxes of rain water into a relatively small pond would be problematic? It's only going to be a wildlife pond and likely extremely heavy planted.
