Fish Pond Project-6510
1 Attachment(s)
Clearing away an overgrown section of our yard, I found a large hole in the
ground, not sure why it was there, it was full of dead branches etc. I wasn't sure what to do about it, then I thought it maybe a good place to put in a fish pond. So for the past month or so, we've removed all the vines, most of the cordylines and weeds. We used the hole as a fire pit for a couple of weeks, burning off all the stuff we'd cut down/removed. Then we lined the hole with a plastic liner, edged it with rocks. Due to a miscalculation it wasn't as level as I wanted it, so I built up one end with clay I removed from our dam overflow. I don't know how many times I removed rocks, added more soil, put rocks back, wasn't happy, so removed rocks, added more soil, put rocks back. :-) As it turned out, the liner was about 4 inches too short on one side, so I can't get it quite the way I wanted, but I will learn to live with it I guess, plus hopefully when the ferns grow they will hide the parts that annoy me. It's now almost finished, though I still have quite a few finishing touches to do. This is how it went, the beginning, all overgrown cordylines, passionfruit vines, cat's claw creeper vines, walking iris and mondo grass. |
