Making progress last Sunday
The new pond is progressing well – I’ve begun to shape the hole now, and work on the marginal turves. The maximum depth is going to be around 30 cm, with the pond roughly divided between a deeper ‘north’ basin and a shallower ‘south’ basin.
The liner is bought and paid for.
Next weekend should see the final stages, if we are lucky – then it’ll be time to pray for water. No hosepipe filling here!
The spirit level and long pole help to get the margins the same height all the way round

Hi
Why should the margins have to be the same height all the way round?

Hi Jon
There’s no special reason to have the pond margin at the same level but it can look odd if you have a lot of ground high and dry on one side.
In reality once the grass grows (if you’ve got a grassy margin) quite a lot of sins disappear.
