Hi all,
Having had a little look around this wonderful site I know I'm in the right place.
I'm currently landscaping my front garden and want to include a wildlife pond (no fish) into my design. Unfortunately I know very little about pond construction.
In the picture, I'm planning on positioning the pond to the left of the fern in pot. The path has been broken up and will now sweep around following the line of the green hosepipe. The pond size i'm planning will be about 3m x 2m. Where the steps are i am going to build a stone retaining wall all the way across. Out of this wall i want water to trickle out into a 'brook', which will feed into the pond. So there will be some pipe going up behind this wall. The angle of the slope is 10 degrees. There is a garage at the bottom of the garden from where the power will come.
My wife isn't that keen and will be watching closely, i don't want to hear her say 'I told you so'!!
So from you guys i would really appreciate any advice/help on what you think i'll need. Pump/pipe size etc etc ...oh and i plan on using pond liner.
Many thanks
