Hello,
Just got new responsibility - 150ft x 80ft mill pond full of wild carp and need help to develop it to be pretty and wildlife friendly. People tell me I can't have flowering plants because of the fish?
The pond is big enough to have a small rowboat on it. The depth varies between 2ft and 6ft and it is fed by a small stream which flows through it. Only part of the bank goes down to a 'beach'. Mostly the edge is a stone faced 6ft high earth bank. I can't see how to have a 'shelf for placing plants' that I read about.
Any ideas , tips or suggestions?
