My little waterlily pond has a leak and I've given up trying to fix
it.

If it's not too late and you don't want to go the blueberry route,
drain the pond, throw half a dozen beaten eggs into it, then fill it
with very hot water (fit a hose to the hot tap). It fixed my leak.


:-) the mechanics used to tip eggs into the radiator of my fork
lift truck whenever it sprang a leak.

I have just tipped the thing out and mended a hole, can't be arsed to
go through that again as there's a perfectly good fish pond three
feet away. (And I don't have a hot tap - primitive world here).
Anyway, don't the newts and / or frogs eat the egg white?

Not when it's filling up a little hole.

I have a friend who farms blueberries for a living. I'll ask him next time I
see him what the score is - he offered me a large amount of the special
compost they need and a few plants. I know they're very fussy and he uses
enormous quantities of the special soil, it goes in a few feet deep. I
believe he said it was imported from Poland, truckloads of the stuff.
