My new completed pond

[Heruga]

I’m a rather pond newbie but just wanted to show some step by step photos of my pond I’ve been working on since last November and I think I finally got it completed. Thanks to many of your help!(you know who you are). Now I just have to wait until my plants fill in, they are mostly self propagated so gotta wait a while until it gets bigger. The last 2 pics show the front and back of the pond. Too bad I can’t post videos here since I wanted to show my small waterfalls

Looks great! Bet you’re enjoying it! How are you handling filtration?

Thanks, it’s right next to my patio too so everyone can sit and enjoy the calming sounds of water. So as for filtration… I was originally going to make this a still, bog/aquatic based pond that attracts wildlife but at the last minute(after 90% was done) I decided I wanted to hear the sounds of water, especially since it’ll be right next to my patio so I got a pump in and made a waterfall. So I was late in making that decision, otherwise I probably would’ve put in a filter. I scoop up debris time to time with my pond net but not so often, and my pump is still running great after about a month. I think I can deal with a filter less pond.

Thanks. This is what it looks like now. Lotuses are spreading day by day but no signs of bloom despite fertilizing. Nymphoides peltata is spreading like a wildfire.

Came out looking pretty sweet but a word of caution watch out for that lotus they can take over if you give them half a chance
