Water is one of the basic elements of life. For many people, the sight of water is pleasurable and calming. You do not need a large garden or considerable space to create a pond. Ponds are not only pleasing to the eye. You can also grow plants and keep small fish in a pond.
The Essence of a Garden Pond
Above all, it serves as an ornamental element in the garden, interesting for its aesthetics, design, and ideal location for live fish and aquatic plants. There is no such thing as too much greenery in a garden. The more greenery, the closer we feel to nature. All that is realistic is the amount of space. A pond breathes soul and life into a garden.
Important things to consider before building a pond
Building a pond is not complicated, but it is important to think things through and plan effectively. The basic step is to choose a location for the pond. You need to consider whether you want a pond with filtration. Next, if the pond needs to be cleaned, how will it drain? If the pond is made of foil, plants must be placed in containers. Therefore, the depth of the pond needs to match that. Or would a plastic pond be better? It is also important to consider how you will design the pond\’s surroundings, pebbles, etc. You can get inspiration from magazines, from friends who already have ponds, or by looking on the Internet.
What you need to make a pond
Whether you start making a pond yourself or get help from someone else, you will need to get black foil, chamogaya (the amount depends on the size of the pond), and stones of various sizes. All can be obtained at specialty stores. You will also need the same amount of sand as duckweed. Of course, if you choose to plant, you will need to purchase and prepare the appropriate plants. If you are going to be a small pond owner, it is not recommended, including for convenience, to purchase water lilies or bog plants. These plants are better suited for larger ponds. Also, small ponds are not suitable for keeping fish. This is because fish cannot survive the winter in the pond. Small ponds, on the other hand, provide a welcome watering hole for birds, especially during the warm summer months. Killer whales also like to use ponds for refreshment.
