A Pond Update
It’s been a few weeks since we first built our pond. It seems to be maturing well and looks nice. There was a bit of an initial algal bloom, but that was expected and didn’t come to much. It’s now full of life and already looks fairly mature. The water is full of larvae of many different kinds. There are various diving beetles and plenty of flies and such like around it all the time. The honey bees use it too and there are often birds bathing in the shallow. Hope you like it so far.
Elsewhere in the garden it’s still in a purple phase and is being baked by the sunshine. Keeping up with the watering is hard enough, but I did fix the guttering on the house the other day so it might be time for yet another water butt as well.
