I have been considering turfing upto the edge of my pond but how do you stop
the grass clippings going in the pond when you are cutting it?

I don't, I just skim the surface with a net afterwards but I would be
interested if anyone has a bright idea to prevent it, with a bit of
careful mowing I minimise the effect but the strimmer throws stuff in
all directions. I thought about trying a net across the pond which
should catch most of the clippings but haven't got a roundtuit yet.

We leave the edges long for the wildlife. It actually makes it look
more natural, too.
