Project Wildlife - Revisit

[fr499y]

This will be just a tiny pond, but a pond non the less.
The aim is to create a wildlife pond which may or may not be big enough to house a few minnows.
It will be a maintenance free setup with the main source of filtration being marsh plants and oxygenating plants.

I have a couple of options at the moment regarding size and style, but it will have to be raised.

What a cool idea. Will watch this with great interest. My children keep suggesting a pond... lol

Sounds like a fun project, I'll stay tuned!

So the size we have almost settled on is 3x3x1ft raised timber to match the planters i made last year ( only just filled them up! )

You'll need to be careful in winter with fish if it's only a foot deep.

They'll come in. Probs be sticklebacks or something if anything at all.

Container arrived, its smaller than was going to go for but not by too much. 3' x 2' x 1'

Next step, to get some stuffs to go in it

I'm wanting a pond but due to us renting we can't dig one in . Considered a patio pond but, as mentioned by Ian, winter will be an issue as they're never deep enough.

Intrigued as to how yours turns out
