Installing A Preformed Pond

This is a grey water pond that also receives gutter drainage.
It includes a pump to aerate the recirculating contents as a waterfall.
Also a reliable home designed automatic pond filler to replace water that is periodically pumped out to water the trees and plants (not yet depicted in this video). Everything is automatic. Both pumps are metered and both are powered by a solar panel system (another story).

a few questions, if you don't mind..

1) at 39:00, what is the material you used to line the upper area of the pond liner with?

2) what are the pea pebbles for?

3) did you adhere the rocks to the liner with anything other than gravity?

4) what plants are those that you put in?

i have just installed a similar liner in my garden, and am trying to make it look as natural as possible, which you have done a nice job of!

thanks

Wrapped rim with burlap.

The pebbles cover planting medium. Holds roots down. Also inside the pond filler to weigh it down + filtration.

Used the local caliche soil under the rocks. Gets a good grip in time; adjusts to local conditions & foot traffic.
