As well as any general advice, I'd appreciate guidance on some specific questions:
1. Should I remove the plastic pond liner once drained, or will this be of some use to my vegetable growing?

Hi
You should not remove the plastic pond liner; use this for some vegetable growing use. For a successful
vegetable garden I think you should fill the new bed with top soil.
