If you can cover the pvc exposed above water level with something like astroturf, it will protect it from uv degradation. Even butyl liners degenerate in sunlight. I suggest astroturf bearing in mind the traffic of mucky ducks. For an ornamental pond, the edges can be covered with natural vegetation.
Great info. I'm considering adding a very small pond to the fenced in area where my ducks live. They are Indian Runner ducks, so they are not as in need of a water feature as other breeds, but I'm sure they would appreciate it.
I remember that gooey stuff you put on it, and the other changes too, and I have to say, that whatever you did, sure made it Gorgeous. I really love the pond area. I have this real tiny spot on my small place where a frog comes every year, and it's only about 2 feet around, so I'm leaving it there. It's under a huge tree and very protected, so I guess he/she likes it. My property is so small that I could never have a pond, but even a frogs waterhole is fun to watch. Bless, Sheila
great update on the duck pond !! full of great information and advice !! the do's and don'ts is very informative !! thanks for sharing and happy gardening !!
Kalsinfilms, I think you are correct about that. Our geese pond is by our stand of fig trees and those trees do so well there it's unbelievable -- and we get very heavy fig cropping. I never put that together in my mind about the fertilizer. We put some fish in the pond once and the geese bit them all in two and pitched the pieces of fish out of the pond to the chickens, who ate every piece. So much for fish in the pond!
Nice pond mate, you didn't dig it out by hand did you? I'm assuming you got a little mini-digger in. Anyhow, the ducks love it so it can't be bad. Cheers Adam
I Love your videos. How many acres is your place? I would love more than 2.5 acres... that's what I have. and crazy neighbors. Thank you for these great videos.
Hello I watch your videos for quite some time now and I've had never known you had a pain until now it is very beautiful I would like to have something like this on my farm how did you take off the in order to create it I am living in a subtropical area of El Paso so how can I start digging for my car for the Ducks
What a beautiful setting for the pond :)
The dappled light through the gums really give it that harmonious look...
This is heaven. I envy you man, such a life is only imaginary to many of us. Wishing you and your family all the best in life!

They get to have a pond in the nice shade of the woods and all I have is a bucket on the alley behind my apartment. #DucksLife hahaha
VERY useful. And what wonderfully happy animals!! I gotta find more of your stuff!!
The ducks love the water and so do the hens mate, this is why I built my small duck pond :) great video

Certainly did the trick in the end. I remember the leaky dam clip.
Pond muck supposed to be a great fertilizer for garden. FYI.
Thanks for stating this great tip! I'll pin it to the top of the comments list! Cheers :)

Beautiful!
Thanks! 😀
Do you have a mosquito problem with that water feature?
Do they need a pond in winter
U made this pond? Or natural
Even if we clean our geese pond, they mess it back up immediately. They dig around in the dry soil and put the dirt in the pond.
dam ducks eating the dam wall!
Is like if we ate the walls of our houses :-/ not very smart I'd say.
I love it💕
what's your ratio to duck to drakes ? I have two drakes and 5 females but I'm just curious about your ducks
Did you make it/ build it?
😁😷👍
