very nice! I like that you kept it natural, no bricks or decking around it. animals should love it!
This is one of the very best natural looking ponds I have seen on the internet. Excellent description and thoughtful commentary! I wish you the best with your beautiful pond!
Brilliant Video ! Well done, I've subscribed. We have a natural stream runs through our garden, but I still wouldn't mind adding another one when our pond is put in, in a few weeks time. One of my neighbours' has a pond and I, plus two other neighbours' are having ponds put in, so we will have 4 gardens in a cluster, all with ponds. two of the neighbours' have the same (natural) stream running through their gardens, so we are excited that we will all be living in an aquatic environment. P.S. One of the things I liked about your video, is that you did not spoil it with 'music.' Thanks again !
Aww that's most kind Angela. We've since moved to leafy Bucks and plan to start making videos again in 2022 as we have loads of great projects to share.

Great. Look forward to them !
@@TheRuralGardener I hope the new owners of the pond are taking good care of it
Absolutely! ... Was just thinking about that last weekend. We're planning on uploading a few new videos next week to the channel.
Thank for sharing your creation. Inspirational and looks so "natural" Well done. ENJOY!
wow, so inspirational. Thanks!
Very nice.. Good on you.
This is the best I've seen for a long time👍🤝😁
Wildlife pond doesn’t need to be 3ft deep. Frogs and newts like shallower water, and can hibernate safely at about 45cm deep over winter. Tadpoles especially like the shallow water as it warms up quickly and helps to develop. It is good to have deeper areas with varying temperatures/pressures so wildlife can retreat deep if needs be, but you don’t NEED to dig 3ft deep. If you can, sure, have a deep spot, but 45cm is ideal
That is amazing and so natural, does not look man made and I like how you use no chemicals. Amazing and you done your bit in giving homes to little creatures and birds etc. Welldone.
Ps is there any info online how to do this so it works out in the longrun ?

hello and well done. What size pump (watts) did you install? and also is it possible to make a totally pumpless backyard pond?
hello i love your video i is ur wildlife pon have a clay bottem or liner and where ur plants are on the side did u make that a differnt shelf and have you had frogspawn yet im planing on building a nother pond
Hi, I've added a link to the 'How To' post in the description. Hope this helps.
I am wondering if the pond is super healthy and fresh will animals automatically gravitate to it vs. unkept water sources in the wilderness?
any chance you can do another update video please ?
Dwarf trees on the edge give hiding and perching places too. Or willow or alder but you will have to keep cutting these bigger trees back.
Did you stop of making videos? More videos, please. Greetings from Brazil.
+Juracy Ribeiro Great to here from you! ... how is beautiful Brazil? If you head to the channel I made a few more videos .. but this year I plan to make a lot more videos. So more videos coming! :) Thanks for the kind words. TRG.
+The Rural Gardener Anytime you want to visit Brazil, you have a new friend here, for sure. And more videos. Hurry up! Hugs.

You should make more vids :)
No need for a electrician, no need to turn it it off every night. Go solar power. Only down side are overcast days. But why waste electricity, when you can get sunlight for free?
dead right! ... planning to do the same this year.
You're absolutely right! ... we're going with Solar this year.
Thanks.
Hope it works out well. Hiding the solar panel board and giving it plenty of sun is the tricky part.

I'm really interested in planting my own forest. About 100 acres with a variety of conifers and maple trees in a semi-controlled environment. By that, I mean that I won't allow the natural decomposition of fallen leaves to take place nor will allow dense underbrush to form. Just plain (slightly) unkept grass. Sort of like a fairytail forest. I want to make a pond sufficiently large to allow for substantial biodiversity with a few japanese maple trees on tiny mound hills around and off the perimeter of the pond for shade. Finally, I want a modern log cabin at the center with a nice garden (the maple trees will be within close proximity to the house while the conifers would extend from the some point further from the house all the way to the boundaries of the property). This is my dream and eventhough I won't get to enjoy it much in my lifetime, I hope that those after me will have a great retreat.
