Trees and ponds
"Newbie Bill" wrote in message om... This may be years in the coming, but if by chance liners go on sale around my birthday - ya never know. The only place we really have, short of totally full sun is under the canopy of several Live Oaks and Pin Oak. 1) Anyone know rules of thumb about how far away from the base you would have to be to not disturb the 'tap roots?'. 2) What concerns are there about any trees, shrubs etc puncturing the liner. 3) This exposure would pretty much just be diffused light. Aside from leaves and slow/limited plant growth any other negatives I'm not thinking about? Thanxx Bill Brister - Austin, Texas (8b) The leading edge of my pond is located at the edge of the canopy of a large pin oak. I made sure to clip any roots along the excavation wall, and used a thick tarp to line the wall before installing the pond liner, to make sure that it didn't get punchered by any roots I missed. The pond has been inground for two years now with no problems, and the pin oak provides plenty of shade for at more than half of the day. The only problem is with leaves in the fall. But at that time, I use a net over the pond to keep the leaves out. |
