Creating a small unlined natural pond

2011

So far I have defined the shape and started digging out the soil. The rain water from part of house roof and the bath water from our outside bath drain into it, hopefully providing enough water to keep it full year round.

Creating a pond

Having recently purchased Gaias Garden, a book on back yard permaculture, I was inspired to create a water 'feature' to extend the diversity of the local biological system.
This is an unlined pond dug by hand down into the clay and has a water depth of no more than about 40 centimetres when full.
