did you study addy's drawing? A BETTER idea (sorry, I know you've already started) would be to lower the pond water about 6", dig out a 4" shelf 4" down, lay the liner on it, THEN up and over and buried by soil and plants. On this new 4" shelf, you can place rocks that will be half submerged and look natural. When you add plants, they'll grow over and help naturalize even more. Great start, though!
It just seemed like so much more hard work. I’ll try that at one of the other edges tomorrow n see if it works better
yeah, it can be, if your soil is hard to dig but 4" down is like half a shovel depth. I didn't have addy's shelf when I did my pond for the first time either and tried to cover the exposed parts with hanging plants, coco coir, etc but when I began to see other ponds I admired, they made me wish I'd known/done the same. So, you're getting that nudge now. Google pics of ponds and see if you begin to like the 'covered edged' ones better than the multitude of those where the edge liner is exposed. You're actually doing your pond a service too because the sun will break down the liner where exposed, and you'll get less life than expected.
Yeah I know what you mean. I will def try that tomorrow. I’ll have to get these fit lads to find me some rocks from the river too
Yeah, but that little green fish looks lonelyyou're Soooooooooo Lucccckkkkkyyyy, Vicki; you got addy's famous Picaso Liner Hider art!!!!!
it's only because addy is stubbornly refusing to give into getting some koi in her pond. I figure, we can outlast her, PJ!Yeah, but that little green fish looks lonely
Never! Very happy with my procreating little herd! Prob over 100 fish, no way to count them all.
