I love your wildlife pond, so well made and planted! It is the one feature that I don't have in my garden but very much want, it was fascinating to see how you approached creating it. And Milo is a very handsome boy🥰 Thank you for stopping by my channel and leading me back to yours - I'm now a subscriber.
You are so right. I wish I could have a pond too unfortunately not in my place where I live so hot, so humid, so much vicious mosquitoes in here we only BBQ during winter :) summer we all need to wear long sleeves, long pants hats, 2 socks, 2 pants so we do not get poke through...plus spray ... I can only envy your beautiful garden :) thanks for sharing my dear friend! ♥
Oh no! I can imagine ponds are a magnet for mosquitoes in more humid countries. We do have midges here (annoying mini mosquitoes) but they're not too bad. Thank you for the lovely feedback about my garden!
Thank you! I'm hoping to make another video this summer to show how the plants are looking now they're a bit more established - keep an eye out for that! 💕
@@PlasBachGarden Perhaps you will visit my country in safer times!!! Until then you can admire the Danube and I can follow your realizations like the cool pond and the cool weather you have in the summer!!!!
Wow! This was next level landscaping🙌 I really like how well the plants fill in the space. I can tell a lot of consideration went into the design and layout.
Looks really good. I've just had to drain mine after about 6 years and add a filter. Plants alone weren't enough to keep it turning stagnant eventually.
Thank you! Shame the plants didn’t do the job for you. My old pond did eventually balance out after a few years, but then the whole thing was covered in water mint by that stage and you couldn’t see any of the water even though it was clear! I'm keeping clear of water mint this time.
@@PlasBachGarden yeah I had years of a good pond but eventually just a lack of movement and biological filtration meant a restart. I expected it. Will see how a filter does. The trickle sounds nice 🙂
Thanks! To be honest, there is a lot more algae now, one year on. I don't use any oxygenation or water refill. I remove the pond weed by hand (my most recent video has a bit in it that shows me doing this, check that out 😊) and use a natural treatment to inhibit growth.
Hi there! If it’s the one I think you mean, it’s Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria). I have it growing as a marginal pond plant here, but you can grow it directly in soil too. Pollinating insects love it.
@@PlasBachGarden That is indeed that plant I love the look of it as a marginal and have never seen it before and would love to have one for my pond ! Thank you 🙏🏽
Hi there. I loved your video. Your pond is lovely and your garden is amazing. You must have some very interesting wildlife in your pond and in your garden. Have you had frogspawn this year yet?
Thanks so much! Being out in the wilds, we do get some interesting wildlife. Neighbours tell me there are some otters living downstream from us, so it would be great to see some of those. No frogspawn as yet. We do have another pond (well a big hole that was meant to be a pond but is more of a puddle! I'll show it in another vid sometime) and that gets frogspawn - not seen any yet this year, but we might be a few weeks behind as we're a bit high up.

Thank you so much! (From Milo too!) Hoping to do an update video on the pond soon - just waiting for some more sunny weather. Keep in touch!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Happy gardening!
Your pond is beautiful! Especially those gorgeous plants you put around it. Stunning. ❤
Thank you so much! I'm hoping to do an update soon, just waiting for some sunshine!
Your right, everyone needs a pond 🙂 Lots of hard work you've put into your property.
Thank you! It's made a real difference here and is my favourite part of the garden. Thanks for checking in!
Sharing the beautiful wild pond I really enjoyed it. My dad always had a pond at every home he owned.
He sounds a very wise chap!
You have done a stunning job for the wildlife 👏👏👏
Thanks! It really is attracting loads of wildlife, so I'm really pleased!
Bravo! You've truly outdone yourself.😃😃😃
Thanks, that's nice of you to say! 😻

I totally agree with you about the value of a water feature in your garden - I enjoyed the video my friend.
Thank you so much!
Impressive pond!!! I enjoyed the video!!!
Glad you like it! Not quite the Danube though...! 😉

It's a wonderful pond! Good job creating more habitat for the wildlife.
Thanks, glad you like it! It's definitely changed the whole atmosphere of the garden and the birds love it.
It looks very balanced, nicely done. May I ask if you provide some periodical oxygenation or water refill?

What is the taller flowering plant you have in the shallows ?

@@charles1700You're very welcome! They grow quite easily from seed so you could get a few to go in!
Wow! I like the pond with all the plants. A sure attraction for the wild life.
