Love the video!! :) so glad to hear the channel was monetized!

@tomorrowsforests 4 месяца назад

Thanks.. And yeah great news.. Every little bit helps.

I would suggest a dry stone retaining wall .

@pricklyplants 4 месяца назад

Live Willow stakes for a retaining wall is free, you even could use the Dogwood. Earth banks are good feature for wildlife already though.

@tomorrowsforests 4 месяца назад

I love this idea!!!

@freemanbynature 4 месяца назад

Great video, The Dogwood actually looked great popping out the water like that, It will be very interesting to see how the lake develops over the years and be able to measure the effects of the climate etc on it, (I am not really a major believer of man made climate change exactly.) How many farms are there in the area that use fertilisers? I am thinking of algae growth and over growth of things like duckweed etc, just from experience of local lakes. Keep up the good work.

Pretty lucky with all organic farms surrounding the pool, biggest nutrient load factor this winter was the ducks and geese which we had a ton of. In turn we have a pretty big filamentous bloom right now but the naturals are loving that. Just chucked a weed rake through it and it's loaded with snails, shrimps, worms ext..

@@tomorrowsforests Thanks, It would have been nice to see the dugout peg as you were asking for suggestions for it, Real stone walls should not use cement at all. They don't use cement up the pennines etc, and those stone walls last hundreds of years, even retainers! I recommend you look into 3 subjects, HugelKulture, (for problems growing above clay) permaculture, for fruit and nut trees (feed your family and a side income) and the Back To Eden technique. Watching the Back To Eden video is inspiring for all comers at the least.

@@freemanbynature I have been toying with the idea of a dry stone wall, unsure about its retention abilitys.. It will be holding back alot of soil weight. Thanks for the book recommendations. We do have a pair of herons, their doing a good job on keeping the silver population down and a few buzzards in summer.

The lake looks great, did you sort out the otters?

@tomorrowsforests 4 месяца назад

Hi David... Yeah we fenced them out and within a couple weeks the bird life returned. We now have a family of little ducklings on the lake, geese, swans.. No sign of the moorhens yet but im Sure they won't be too far away.

@michaelwalker1964 4 месяца назад

Hi mate u can get a geo fence put up around your fisherie to stop drones flying over drone laws say you're not aloud to pester wildlife with a drone so go over to the aviation authority and get a geo fence put up its £5 for so many square feet so if u look up how to get a geo fence it will help you out

New subscriber and enjoying your lake build videos. Binge watched them today. Just one comment from me though… please can you reduce the volume of the music to more background as its very difficult to hear what you are saying at times. Personally I don’t think the music adds anything to the quality of the video. Will continue watching and look forward to seeing how the lake develops.

@tomorrowsforests Месяц назад

Noted.. Thanks for the feedback.

Camellia to improve UK native biodiversity? Seriously? How many UK native species associations does a plant from south east asia have? Virtually none, other than some common Hymenoptera species that will take advantage of anything. We already have native species that flower over winter that work perfectly well (Hedera helix?). If youre trying to plant for climate change, hows about using the vast and perfectly adapted planting palate we already have from South West Europe that has already been here several times before, over millions of years of interglacials and already has infinitely more native species associations as a result, rather than using transcontinental exotics that have virtually none, and are also responsible for the vast majority of our invasive species? May as well plant a nice supposedly "wildlife friendly" plant like Cotoneaster hrizontalis (now a schedule 9 invasive species) while youre at it. This use of transcontinental exotics as a solution to biodiversity loss/climate change is oxymoronic. Has anyone done any experiments to see what a 2C temp rise will do to their fecundity? No.. no they havent.. Our native ecology is already utterly screwed as a result of this mentality. What happened to the precautionary principal? Stop it ffs.

@tomorrowsforests 4 месяца назад

Your concerns about native biodiversity are both valid and vital, and we're glad to address them. The camellia is indeed a carefully selected addition to our lake project, but it's just one part of a much larger initiative that predominantly features native plants. We've introduced a diverse array of native species that are tailored to our local ecosystem-plants like oxeye daisies, red campion, and meadowsweet, which provide a succession of blooms to support a range of pollinators throughout the seasons. We're also incorporating native shrubs and trees, such as hawthorn and willow, which offer both habitat and forage to wildlife. The camellia’s role is supplementary, providing nectar early in the season before many of these natives come into bloom. This trial, set within a matrix of native vegetation, aims to augment the resources available to pollinators, particularly during the challenging early spring period. We are committed to careful observation and management to ensure the wellbeing of our cherished local flora and fauna.

Use Pound Die. To improve the water quality and make it look good and helps with allergy Blooms

@tomorrowsforests 4 месяца назад

Yeah that's not the way we going right now.. We are encouraging the weed growth to allow for a lot of naturals in the lake and a full healthy ecosystem.
