In this video I will be showing you how to install a pond. The pond I am installing is a preformed pond (an Oase PE1000), however the method used is transferable for installing smaller and bigger ponds both preformed and using a flexible pond liner. This pond was installed as a wildlife pond to help encourage more amphibians and insects into the garden to increase the biodiversity. It could be used as a fish pond if a pond filter and pump system were installed to clean and aerate the water. I installed this pond in the winter which isn't ideal for planting the pond out as the frost can kill the new plants because they are not established. I would recommend planting the pond out in the spring after your last frost date, this is because the plants will have time to establish and grow so they are strong enough to survive the cold winter weather. A pond is a great feature for any garden big or small and doesn't need to be hard work or a lot of maintenance. Especially a simple wildlife pond like this, it can just been seen as another flower bed to plant in that you don't need to weed just get non invasive native plants, watch them flourish and create an ecosystem.
