I've recently moved house, and my new pad has a couple of ponds. One is circular, about 2meters diameter, but about 1.5m deep. I cant understand why they build it in such a way, as its too deep surely for planting. There is a partial side shelf, but even that is perhaps 60cm deep. The previous owners kept loads of fish in it, but no plant life, so it was a boring, green algae sludge pit.
What do people recommend? I'm thinking of making some wooden crates, and putting them in the bottom, to raise a planting bed to about 90cm. Also create some more marginal depths.
