Creating a Wildlife Pond 

I put some forget me nots in my pond,which look lovely when flowering.The newts also like them as they lay their eggs between the leaves.Nice job by the way.

That's an amazing pond🙂

I believe that's a great diving beetle larva.

Nice to see the project from start to finish. And really nice to see you back. M

Fantastic video Simon and what an excellent project that's paid off very well. Looks amazing and to have it in your own garden is even more better. Great to see you again doing more video's. Proper job! 👍

Great pond. Takes two years for frogs to develop and spawn. It’ll be great to see it develop further. Hope to see further updates.

Amazing.i plan on starting my project soon. Love the jetty idea but you have everything size levels beach etc. An inspiration.

Very nice pond good job there be nice have a update on it this year

Good job on the pond update.Looks fantastic. That bit that you say is a bit lower - just build it up with a bit more dirt/stone under the overlap if you can or plant a few plants that like boggy conditions like a Gunnera Manicarta.It gets big but will look awesome as you have a big pond. The stone is a good idea as it also provides lots of crevices for amphibians to hide in. A few sedges & grasses will add structure & cover.I have Pendulous Sedge (Carex pendula) in my pond which the frogs like to hide in & dragonflies use as perches.They get quite big so don’t have too many. The water beetles & pond skaters can fly to your pond. If you have a look on the underside of the water lily leaves there should be some jelly like cylinders which are water snail eggs. Snails help keep the water clear as they eat algae & dead matter. Sounds like you have plenty of sparrows enjoying the garden too! All the best.

Lovely pond, mate. really nice job. Great to hear you talk about the wildlife. I was amazed too, I have built two (much much smaller ponds) and in less than 3 weeks I already had frogs. Brilliant to see now a year later I have loads of small damselfly and dragonfly nymphs that have hatched and looking good. All the best.

Loving the pond chap. Good to see you. Hope all is well.

Amazing Simon. You must be very proud!

A beautiful pond

Looking good so far, needs a little touch up here and there to finish off but looks great.

Great video and pond ... need an update for this year though

Absolutely brilliant really enjoyable to watch please do updates on how the pond progreses 👍

nice one mate.i am certainly no pond expert but i think not cementing the stone in position was a wise move.more crevices for wildlife, looks more natural & gives you the option to move stone if need be. you spent the money in the right place with the heavy duty liner.sit back & enjoy.good to see you back.

Looks the part that mate considering it's your first. Should get a few sticklebacks in there use to lobe netting them.when I was younger

you done a tidy job with the pond

What are those very very small green leaves called they are floating in cluster on the surface of the pond. Are they part of a bigger plant?

Good to see you back Simon great video!

Awesome project

Hi where have you been. I love your videos and wish you had made more

Nice job, water is about 250 pounds per 1000 litres

Do you not have any form of pump or filtration?
