The pond started to leak so I've taken everything out to see if I

re-seal it. It had a liner before, well bits of liner were still

left,
and I'm not sure if the bituminous sealer will be the ideal

solution.
Any suggestions as to what to look for in a pond liner? It is a

small pond around a metre square and thirty centimetres deep.


What species and variety are they? Your pond may not be deep enough
for them, as I think you need at least a foot above the rootstock
even for the smallest. I also wonder if there are too many -- you say
"water lilies", plural.
