Mud washed in...

[James_Pond]

We had very heavy rain at the weekend. A soil bank behind the pond, which is higher than the pond meant a fair amount of soil was washed in and it's now a bit murky.

I've since lowered the bank and now got it slopping away slightly, as well as digging a bit of a trench so whilst I know this will still happen from time to time, it should be fairly minimised from now on.

However, I wonder if this is an issue or not? I presume that the soil will settle and my pond will naturally clear on its own.

I have no pump or filter, just plants.

No fish either, so that's not an issue.

Cheers.

The pond will eventually clear on its own. You will have a layer of sediment on the bottom of the pond.
