Pond question -- suggestions for hiding top of liner
Hi All
We have a circular pond around 12' in diameter.The rim is paved, but the slabs don't quite extend over the edge of the pond, leaving a strip of pond liner exposed. Depending on how much/little rain we have, this strip ranges from a couple of inches to about a foot above the level of the water. We want to cover up this strip, partly because it's unsightly, and partly because of the apparent problems caused by excessive sunlight on liners. But we aren't sure how best to do this. It would be nice to be able to smear the liner with some sort of natural-looking clay but I don't know of anything that would stick permanently (it's a fairly perpendicular angle), and wouldn't just crumble into the water as the level rose. Next thought is edging plants but we can't get these anywhere near dense enough. So we thought about attaching some sort of webbing around this exposed strip and growing some plants that would grow through the netting and become a thickish barrier between the sunlight and the liner. These could be planted either submerged at the pond edge, or planted above, and let to trail downwards and grow around the netting. Is there a better idea than this, and are there any suggestions for which plants would happily thread their way through netting like this, and wouldn't mind being dunked in pond water? Thanks in advance Will PS Will post the same question on the ponds.moderated forum, though that has a mainly US readership. |
