| | | Wildlife pond
Well i've decided to finally start digging out the pond but i have a few questions.
Firstly the only space i have is a 6x6ft gap in the corner if the garden between the shed and fence, it's gets a good amount of sunlight in the morning but not for very long, will this be a big problem?
And also how deep should i make it? I was think of maybe 2-3ft in the middle and getting shallower towards the edges.
TIA
