How to make a pond in the country with their own hands
This article is especially for self-taught designers,who have a summer cottage, garden or vegetable garden, but there is no nice pond nearby. Today I will tell you how quickly and easily you can make a pond at your summer cottage with your own hands. First, you need to think about where you will install it. If you have kids, you should not put the pond next to their play area, so that none of the naughty ones get hurt. It is also not recommended to dig a hole for the pond next to a septic tank. The ground around the edges should be level (so that the water does not flow out) - this can be checked with a building level.And, of course, the main thing is that your new pondharmoniously fits into the overall design of your dacha. So, the place has been chosen, agreed upon with the household and marked on the ground. The depth and shape of the pond - depends on your desire. Our master class shows how to make a large multi-level pond, but if your site (or who knows who else) does not allow you to do this, do not be upset. A small pond will also decorate your dacha.
Once you have made the required hole, you need tocover it with a water-resistant material (for example, there is a special geotextile). The material should be larger than the boundaries of your dug pond, so that it is possible to attach it with pebbles, garden sculptures, flower beds, a fountain or something else of your choice.
When the place is prepared under the pond, it remains for uspour water, run fish, plant water lilies and decorate it around the edges. I propose to see what beautiful ponds in the dacha were made by creative gardeners with their own hands:
