My questions are:
1.I have a pond in Hungary in the countryside I already dug it up, I just saw your technique of excavation and building the layers…. Well I didn’t do that ☺ is their any way to fix my pond layout without covering it up with dirt and doing the excavation all over again?
2. How deep I should dig the lowest part of my pound so that my fish will not freeze to death during wintertime? It gets as cold as minus 10 degrees in Hungary.
If you plan on rocking in the pond like we did in this video you can install the liner, install your first ring of rock and boulders, then fold the liner back into the pond and backfill and compact soil behind the liner to the top of the rock work. Fold the liner back open and repeat the process creating terraces and shelves in the pond as you rock your way up the pond. Rock inside the liner, dirt behind the liner....
I would suggest at least 4' depth to provide some winter protection for the fish. You will need to make sure the ice does not take the pond over in the winter. You will need to keep a section of ice open at all times using a deicer, bubbler or water circulation from a pump.
Best of luck to you on your waterfall construction journey! Thanks for watching.

I love these videos. I'm planning my own pond in about two years and am having a hard time waiting to start.
