After a lot of research finally I've planning to start excavating my new garden pond. Its will be around 180x120cms with 2.5ft of depth.
It will be in north east side of my garden. But what I'm worried about is that there is no tree around it for some good shade during 50 deg C summer. I'm confused if it can survive without shade or it will need some temporary one.
Winters are no problem as in season, the maximum temperature is around 27 deg C and the minimum temperature is around 15 deg C.
Yeah today I have ordered some plants(From aquaswild.com). Don't really know much about aquatic plants but I thought why not try some then read little info about them, ordered the ones which I thought will be nice to plant in a pond
Here is the list:
Here in India garden pond are very rare to see, but aquariums are many so had to chose pond plants from aquarium store.
Any suggestion / guidance are most welcome.
