thanks for your comment but that's personal choice. I have made many different ponds, with and without soil (I have a few on RU-vid), I personally prefer the soil.

mine is still going strong. For the price you can't go wrong. I have been using the chisel attachment recently to break up concrete in the ground. I seem to be mostly breaking things up with it rather than drilling holes!

@@themusicalgardener1166 Thanks very much for the reply...good to hear its going well ..I just bought it in Argos Ireland for 38 euro...seems great value. A couple of slightly odd things are no safety button for trigger and two seperate switches to choose between modes..Neither of these are a problem though. Thanks again.

@@typhoontim125 I will have to check mine out. I am sure I only have one switch to choose modes but I could be wrong, when you use stuff regularly things become automatic.

@@themusicalgardener1166 Thanks again for the reply....I looked at your video again and I can see the two separate switches for the drilling mode, just like mine. It explains them in the manual but it's a fairly odd arrangement. As I said though, it's not a problem at all. I got lucky with the price of 38 euro, it was temporarily discounted and has just gone back up to it's normal price of 70 euro.

We did get lots of frogs, newts and dragons flies. But now we've moved home again! In the middle of another garden project in the new home. We just can't stay still.

@@PaulJonesMusic Aw man Asif let’s hope the new home owners don’t fill it in 👎. I’ve had frogs appear but no spawn & no newts gutted.

@@liammcgirr1778 You never can tell what will happen to your pond once you move. I think ponds are essential for wildlife and nature but everyone feels the same way. The good news we have a bigger garden at this house so that means a bigger pond. With the weather and illness it has been hard going on this one.

@@liammcgirr1778 How long have you had your pond?

I've not used the Titan but I've had zero problems using this to drill through reinforced and composite concrete so should be fine on a garage floor

@@themusicalgardener1166 thanks

This drill is chuckless, just pull back the sleeve and replace the bit. You can only use SDS drill bits with it but there are a lot of different size SDS drill bits. You can turn the hammer action off if you are doing something a bit more delicate but I only really ever use it if I am going against reinforced or composite concrete. Depends on what you want to do.

@@themusicalgardener1166 thankyou. i got some SDS drill bits on amazon and they fit so i can do smaller jobs. Amazing drill nearly as heavy as me!

@@debbieann3883 Yeah it has some weight to it. For the price though you can't go wrong.

A song I wrote some years ago. If only I could sing!

I can't remember exactly what size pump I used now but essentially you are going to be looking at when choosing a pump is the size of your pond (how many litres/gallons), how far away from you pump the water will have to travel (the head) and what you are putting in the pond (are you stocking it with fish or is it a natural pond). I built another pond last year when we moved home and this one is a natural pond so I did not care about recycling so much of the water, just that I had good flow rate for the waterfall. There is a useful guide here you use: bradshawsdirect.co.uk/blog/calculating-your-ponds-required-flow-rate/

Let me check this but as far I know there is a hammer and non hammer setting.

@@themusicalgardener1166 thanks

I think for this pond I used a pump that would push 6000 litres per hour. But it depends on what you want your pump to do and where you want it situated. If you are looking to keep something like Koi or sturgeon then you will want to be considering about shifting a lot of waste through a filter. For this pond all I really cared about is pushing the water to the top of that water feature, so I was more concerned about the max head of the pump (how far and high it would push the water). When looking at pumps it should tell you the max head and how many litres per hour it manages, it should also tell you the size to pond it can handle. Hope that helps.

Still using this one 4 years on. Used it to chisel out 18 inches of sandstone for my most recent garden pond.

I have four little supervisors, they all like to make sure I am doing a good job.

@@themusicalgardener1166 Lol, I have 3 and I know what you mean. Be blessed.

Thanks guys, looking forward to seeing more of your videos and maybe creating some together one day.

Good job I am not a professional waterfall builder. However, the water goes up to the top of the waterfall and then comes back down into the pond, so does the job for me. Thanks for watching though.

Thanks Angie. This particular pond was two houses ago so not sure what is like right now. For the 2 years that I was at that house for though it was really good fun. Got lots of wildlife visiting. Since we moved house I have built another pond. This time it is a split level pond and I have the videos for that one up on my channel as well. We we plan on staying put this time!

Regina X the drill bits need to be SDS drill bits, so whatever sizes are available. Do a search for SDS drill bit on somewhere like screw fix

The Musical Gardener thank you

There are no fish the pond so no need for a filter. The pump is wired into a junctions box.

I can never escape the cats!

They always are. They like to poop in all the holes I dig.

Yes, it's doing really well. Last year it helped me break apart a reinforced concrete fire place and this year I had to drill through 18" of bedrock to finish my pond. In both of these instance I used the spike attachment and it did the job. It has definitely paid for itself.

Thanks!

Oh no! That's harsh. Mind you, my singing voice is not that good so I understand your point. :-)

I am wasting my energy like a teenager.

It's something everyone wants to do

No there's not.

Thanks for comment Gian. Just to let you know this pond was not built for fish, I wanted a small pond and surround it with plants and a waterfall. I have moved house since I built this pond, please check out the my latest split level pond on my channel feed ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nu1C1uHSs8g.html both the top pond and the lower level pond are much bigger than this one.

Cuanto tiempo te llevo aserlo

Ding dong didaleedios senior

this structure wouldn't be strong enough in the long run to hold back that much water. It'd need to be reinforced. Mortar isnt strong with sideways forces.

@@dw2843 would cinder wall cemented in place work?

@@freshwateraquatics5567 Do you mean that you will fill the cores with concrete? If so, thats fine

Paul Jones Lucky. I can only have one cat because of my allergies T-T
