Hello Folks!
Well here we go with my first blog. It's something I have always wanted to have a go at, but could never think of anything to put on it!
I have always been interested in ponds and fish keeping, so this is as good as anything for a first go.
My children decided they would like a pond and fish, so I decided to make them one. However, as with most parents who have young children, money is tight, so I designed and planned the pond with economy in mind. This blog is about how I made a 4 metre by 3 metre by 1metre pond for less than a hundred quid (that's about $130 for my brothers and sisters on the other side of the big pond!). I will give you some useful links so you can find cheap but good stuff to make it with. You can spend an absolute fortune buying proprietary water garden items, so I have built everything from scratch, sometimes with what ever rubbish I have available. I built the pond about 4 weeks ago, and it is looking great! I made my own filter out of odds and ends and the water is almost crystal clear. Another couple of weeks and you could drink it(!) I will borrow my eldest kids camera and post some pictures of it later.
So lets get started
