Making a clay lined pond

[JohnMac]

Since making it just under a year ago I've been nurturing my new pond and taking snaps of its progress. Can't believe how quickly it's developed and the list of wildlife now inhabiting it.

If you're thinking of having a pond and wonder if a clay lined version would work for you I've included a map showing where the highest levels of clay are found in England, as well as images showing progress, at the following link...

Hi JohnMac, welcome to the Vine.

Beautiful and you're lucky you are allowed this on your plot. Our parish council are rigid over anything other than veg on ours. But this would make for a more scenic plot and nurture wildlife. More should do it if they are allowed.
I am envious, this looks truly wonderful.

I looked at this thread a couple of days ago, and thought I had posted a comment. Clearly not. However, I echo VVG's comment above. It's lovely - well done!

That is amazing. I have serious pond envy.

Looks great. A chap on my site also has one of those net polytunnels you made. I must look into doing it as I've loads of debris netting!
