Fish ponds
Make your own fish pond. A pond is a body of water smaller than a lake The pond should be in full sun. Nearly all aquatic plants associated with water gardens need some direct sunlight to flower especially water lilies. Your dream of those beautiful water lily plants will come to nothing if you starve them of sun Ensure your pond or water garden feature (it could be a simple fountain or stream or waterfall disappearing below ground) is away from trees (especially deciduous trees that lose their leaves in Autumn) or prevailing winds that may carry poisonous leaves into the pond. Smaller garden ponds can be netted against the worst of the autumn fall and a few leaves don’t harm a healthy pond. However particularly avoid Willow, Elder, Poplars, Laburnum, Yew and Oak. Make sure your water garden pond is not over-exposed to the North or prevailing winds. Avoid any boggy waterlogged areas since this could result in your garden pond lifting Consider accessibility to a water supply. The water garden or pond will want regular top-ups in the summer. If there are to be waterfalls, streamed or fountains in the garden landscape, consider the distance to plumb in electricity, since this can be a major expense. Consider SAFETY and children. Where there is water and children, at some point the children end up in it. Generally head first. Partly for the reason above, but also because we spend so much of the year looking at our gardens from inside our houses, it is advisable to have a view of the water garden, the pond or other water feature or at least part of it from the house. Check for bedrock, pipe-work, electricity or septic tanks where you have chosen to have your water garden
