Hi all

Nearing completion of our new house,to us. Large natural garden pond, will have to see whatever it or not.
so lets see yours

Not a big pond for me, an old swimming liner and a bath

Always wanted Frogs and Toads and now have millions of them 🙂

Tick. Much wanties.

Viewd the house in question February/ March so not much activity. Hoping to complete next week so looking forward to seeing what residents we have 🙂

Just spent a day de-silting one of mine. Does that count? 🙂

Is that the entire valley you’ve de-silted? 🙂
We’ve loads of tadpoles at the moment. Would love to see some damselfly this year.

Just my medium pond :-), there is a much bigger one lower down and a smaller one in my garden. Was incredible how quickly they were colonised when I first dug them. Full of newts and dragon/damselflies in the first summer and colonised with plants, flowers, reeds and trees after 12 months. This despite me doing nothing except dig a hole in the ground.

We have a very neglected part of the garden and after a scary incident with a friend’s two year old I filled the pond in with compost, autumn leaves and general garden rubbish. It has taken a very long time but now I have a fantastically fertile marsh that is being planted up with Gunnerra manicata and pumpkins.

Yesterday I had kites overhead and a lot of scared songbirds.

Funnily enough my mate was up today with his drone and he took a few pics around the place. Managed to catch the big pond on the corner of one pic…

Hi all

Our pond has been suffering with hair/ filament algae growth through the summer.
Physically removed with a rake, resorted to a treatment.
3 weeks since I added the treatment and continued clearing the pond has turned copper orange, a surface film has formed.

The treatment shouldn’t affect fish or other wildlife but worried I have damaged the balance.

Any experience
