1. Choose an area in your garden you can make a pond or a pond a natural appearance, preferably not an area in the lower court. low spots to collect runoff Rain may be full of nutrients. Nutrients contribute to algal blooms and can turn a green pool quickly.
2. Do not build your pond too near a tree. This can damage any tree roots and perhaps kill the tree. It's something you do not want to deal at a later date.

In the shaded areas of your pond, just use tablets, slow release fertilizer water a few times a year. You can find a good fertilizer for aquatic plants at The Pond Warehouse. Too, consider using baskets pond plant containers, like a round basket plants. Planting in containers, it is easier to move, divide, trim and maintain the distribution of unwanted plants!
4. Make sure there is sufficient space for landscaping around your garden pond. This will add beauty and help the pond look natural, even in the flattest sites.
5. For formatting your pond, we recommend using a rope, cable or hose. You can continue to change the contour of your yard and play with it until obtain the shape of the pond, you're happy.
6. Keep pictures and make notes of things that you like and incorporate them into your garden water of the pond. Take into account water flow. Do you want a waterfall or more gentle eyes welling?
