Update on new pond

Well it’s the first time in ages I’ve been able to go and play on the allotment straight for work,so for the last couple of days I’ve left work and gone to the plot and played out. It’s been brilliant it brings back the feeling of the good old times well last year, so while I’ve been playing out we carried on doing the upgrade on the pond. It shouldn’t be long now till we are back up having a water feature on the plot,we have took the old bath out and will use it for something most likely holding water. When we started stripping the the bath down we found around 13 frogs in it,some in the water and a lot under the timber. Can’t believe how many we found so hoping the new pond gets more,so for the last few days we have been digging and moving the soil. The soil has been put on the rest of the plot as it’s not bad soil, the clay has been to raise the edges up and fill gaps. I do ache now though not used to digging and moving loads of soil, feels like I’ve done loads of sit ups just looking for the 6 pack now but can’t find it. So I apologise for the few pics that I’m going to post from yesterday and today.

Update on the pond

I’ve been a few time this week to the allotment and managed to get a bit more done on the pond,still have the left side to finish along the strawberry bed.

Pond update.

Had a few hours at the allotment so I thought I would do some more on the pond, I collected some wood up from around the plot and tried to build a frame around the bath, I not good at woodwork but it has made it look a little better. Going to make a path to the pond out of some pavers, the pavers has concrete stuck to the bottom of them but I removed it. I should of painted the wood first but will have to do it some other day.

Sorting pond out.

I made another start on the pond while Keith was painting the greenhouse and sorting the pavers out, I’ve managed to dig a hole and get the bath in the best I can. The ground is a little uneven so will have to try and level it a little, I might of been easier to put a pond liner down instead of a bath. Will have to see how this works and alter it later if I want a bigger pond,my pond is a little smaller then Keith’s pond but may change over time.
