    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.

    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 ?

    I am wondering if the pond is super healthy and fresh will animals automatically gravitate to it vs. unkept water sources in the wilderness?

    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.

    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?

      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.
