Ponds & leaves
I'm building a pond ... or rather sinking a pre fab. job with a
small feeder one in rockery behind. Problem is the site has leylandi and neighbours tall laurel hedge which overhangs . These leaves tend to blow all over the show in strong winds . I'm hoping to have fish later on and wondered if these leaves will be harmful to them - don't really want to cover with net etc. only in the autumn if I have to. Any tips on construction / layout would also be most helpful. Many thanks for any help |

A Skimmer is probably a must, and a net in the fall as well

Then put in the rock ple or rock garden. I have a rock garden around three sides of my bio-filter supported by cement blocks and topped by hossta. The front side is my water fall. Happy water gardening. |
