Water Gardening

Sounds interesting. Let us know if you find it online.

would it not be easier / better to not link to the index page but the actual page you mean?and i have to disagree with the reasons of you theory.Yes, timing how long it takes to fill a known container (say 1 litre) will give the flow rate of what ever (tap in your case) but that is of no...

:D:D:D Nope.. Have just spent hrs looking at the sight..!!!!:D:D

We have some. Then again we don't have fish or frogs or anything to eat them!

So there is hope for mine yet. I had one in the garden that flowered, it was almost hidden so I potted it up, put it in the pond and hey presto, no flowers last year. I have three seperate pots of them now in different locations, one being in the pond, here's hoping.

My pond has had a visit by a heron, we have put a terracotta plant pot in the bottom for the fish to hide. At the moment they are feeling very nervous and not coming up for feeding...Its all very sad !

A pond is a wonderful thing to have. I dug mine out to max depth of 35" concreted the bottom and 3 coat rendered the sides. I then purchased chopped straw mat, resin, hardener and some cheap brushes. The method is the same as boat building. 1/ Mix a portion of resin and hardener, paint this...

Lyn, how are your fish getting on? i do hope they are all ok & that the sick ones are now better. Sorry to hear that one died. cheers

thanks all great advice

No, I've just been out to check and we've still got millions of them. I daren't clear any weed out the pond because they are eerywhere:rolleyes:

i went on a short break to Wales about 3 weeks ago, called into Stapley on the way back, even though they are just getting things ready for 2008 (revamping old water features) it still looked nice

Uv lamps should be changed once a year, also the quartz sleeve should be cleaned too

Hi gardenlearner you could try putting a layer of top soil down first on top of the bricks and liner with the edge of the grass just touching the water, that way you create a slope for frogs and beetleregards siham

I'm really relieved about the comments about them taking a while to get going - I thought mine was a goner, it's looking quite sulky but I guess it's just a teenager (in water lily years) and it's to be expected!

no you dont have to tell anyone as its only the cresterd newt thats protected
