How To Install A Pond The Easy Way

No garden is complete until you add a water feature. They bring so many benefits including the relaxing sound of water, beautiful reflections, and the opportunity to grow a whole range of stunning plants. You can even add fish and an aquaponics bed to grow herbs and vegies. We’ll show you how to put together a super simple water feature using off the shelf products, and the best part is, it will take you less than half a day. There are a couple of things you need to think about before installing a water feature. If you have kids around, make sure that it’s not too deep. Plants like water lilies that need around 30cm of water above their roots to thrive, so consider installing underwater safety mesh across the pond. Also think about the location. Lots of sun is great for flowering lilies, but it can also encourage algae, so you will need to consider extra filtering. Also consider how the pond will look, as it really needs to be integrated into the garden. All you’ll need for this project is a preformed pond, a suitable pump, some flexible tubing, and a preformed cascade to create a miniature waterfall. You’ll also need some large stones and several bags of gravel, plus your choice of plants.

I wish I had seen this before I did one of my Ponds. To put the Pebbles in are great! Mine floated without that 2x! I now have a drain under it all but it would have been better to know all this. A hobby with appeal and some limits. I have none!

Why not aluminum foil and aluminium tape? Wear socks and then tar it? The rubber liners are expensive. Pack it well with beach or white sand with gravel.

This will NOT support fish! You need a hell of a lot more filtration than that if you want to keep fish alive.

Possibly, but are you talking about mosquito fish and guppies or koi Karp? I agree koi Karp can be difficult to maintain, but there are other much more self-sufficient species which are, in my opinion, beautiful in their own way.

Great vid - but I don't understand how the pump gets it's power. I see a water intake hose and an outtake hose but I don't see an electrical cord. Where exactly is it? And I'm assuming it's waterproof!
