Hi T2,
I hope I am doing this correctly but just thought I would give you an update on my post about a clay lined pond, you kindly pointed me in the direction of the Ponds Conservation Trust and their Million Ponds Scheme. The advice on the website was very helpful and as you said my pond would fit into the scheme. A Dr Jeremy Biggs gave me some great advice about making the pond good for Reed Buntings as I fed at least three pairs in the garden last winter. The digger has been today and now I just need some rain to fill the pond, shouldn't have to wait too long in Cumbria! Thank you again for the advice.
Kind Regards.

hi t2

sorry i haven't been online for awhile. sorry about your problem in not able to pm me. my inbox is v minimal so i don't know why you've had difficulty in sending me a reply.

if i remember rightly, the pond water is still stagnant and that the water level is still lower than the original amount. this time it's reduced by 2" now. do you think i should get this topped up with detoxified tapwater? ideally, i should use rainwater but i don't have a water butt as yet (don't have a car so it might be difficult to bring one home on a bus).

hope you're well

best regards,

bren

My garden is quite square, but has room for a pond. I'm not sure where to position it but it would be highly prefered by the far fence just by the flowerbeds. I greatly want to attract amphibious critters to my garden so how deep should the pond be and how big, roughly?

Can you help me? I'm new to the forums and am going to make a wildlife pond when we have finished redecorating our kitchen and bathroom.
