Back in September my Pond accidently empted itself because the Pumps Fountain had fallen over pumpimg all the water out & I lost all my fish :( I couldnt bear 2 see it like this any more
It was Half Empty & Lifeless :(
So i filled it up & cleared away the weeds ect from the Border
Then i replaced the rocks :)
Then i added lots of Fresh New Bark :)
I think it looks much better than Pic below dont u :)
This Pic is how it looks when i walk out back door :)
Roll on Spring when i can add my new fishys :) Jacxxx

21 Nov, 2009

Thanx Rka iv already got some pretty young Fishys that r liveing in a Cold Water Aquaruim @present in my liveing room :) Im glad u agree with me TT it took me 3hrs to get it looking good again !!! :)

That was an awful accident, but now as you say you are looking forward to Spring. That will be great. You have tidied it up well, and I'm sure it will be really lovely next summer and fully thriving again.

i just read something that could help jacque if you havent done already, to stand your fountain/pump on something like a milk crate so if it falls the water doesnt escape the pond just flows through holes in crate, doesnt have to be that big but just not solid if you know what i mean :o)

It was a Awful thing 2 happen Mad & like San says/suggest always weigh down the Pump so it dont fall over ,I learnt a very hard way but i have now got the Pump wired to a Flat Weight 2 keep i up-right :D
21 Nov, 2009
easy done jacque and i wouldnt have thought about it falling, im just having a wildlife pond, no fishys, so no pump needed, im getting lots of ideas in my head now and looking forward to making it ;o)
21 Nov, 2009
I know ul love it San id had Pond Fish 4 over 13yrs & think their brill 2 watch :) Wildlife Ponds r great 2 San u can get water snails 2 live in it & ul also get Frogs which is sum thing i didnt see in mine :(
21 Nov, 2009
yes thats what i want jacque to help froggys, apparently if you have fish you dont get as many frogs cause the fish eat the frogspawn, so just frogs for me
21 Nov, 2009
Well done Jacque it looks good. Give yourself a pat on the back :~)))
21 Nov, 2009
Well done Jaque and better luck this time,it looks lovely. Just one thing tho ,is there anywhere for hedgehogs to get out if the tumble in ? Sorry if I can't see it .
Will you leave the fish in their tank now until spring ?
21 Nov, 2009
and baby frogs aster they need a slope cause they cant get out otherwise ;o)
21 Nov, 2009
i am so glad you have had the heart to redo the pond. they really do add to the magic of the garden. looks lovely too.
21 Nov, 2009
You will feel better now that you have tackled it Jacque , it's a job well done !
you will be able to look forward to a happier time in the spring when you will be able to shop for some more babies to fill your pond again .. :o)

Its a shame it happened, but the re-vamp looks good and you have your plans to restock to look forward to. I miss having a pond; its lovely to sit in the sun and watch the fish playing in the water!....and in the spring when the spawn has turned into froglets...and they are all leaping round the garden...you have to watch where you put your feet...lol....ooooh...got me going now!!! perhaps when I get my lottie I could have a pond there.....mmmmmm.....thats got me thinking now.:)))
21 Nov, 2009

21 Nov, 2009
This blog has set me thinking as well but like Sanbaz it would be a wild life one.

Jacque - So sad about your pond. I can see your yellow duckies waiting for a swim.
21 Nov, 2009

22 Nov, 2009
