http://www.pondguru.co.uk Pond project taken over and completed for client. Areas around edges were seeded with sedge grasses and rushes to encourage more rapid naturalisation.
I have been researching deep bio-pond for our farm in Sask., Canada. On pond walls, I was told just the liner (poss addition with felt between liner and earth) is needed (not block / cement walls). I'm concerned with tree roots damaging the pond liner. In this video, there are trees close to pond with just a liner used. Is this concern of mine not warranted?
If the trees are really close it may be worth laying a 2-3" thick concrete base down before the underlay and liner but if they are a good distance away, I wouldn't worry about it. Really you will gauge it by how many (if any) roots you find when digging the hole.
how much did it cost u to make that pond cause i want to make one also...thanks

I think it was about 25m x 12m x 2m deep - it was quite a while ago so I may be way out there.
