Ponds can make a wonderful feature to any garden, and are not as complicated to maintain as you think. They are also a fantastic way to save water. Trevor explores the secrets behind keeping a healthy, waterwise pond in your garden.
Tips and Facts
- Ponds are waterwise and use little water to sustain fish and plants.
- The more floating plants the less evaporation; they also take up all the excess nutrients and act as a natural filtration system.
- It is vital to ensure plants are being fed with a special plant fertiliser.
