I like stone walls, too......but stones in general are annoying if you have to dig them up out of your garden areas and backfill with dirt just to plant a garden,,,,,h-m-m-m-I plan to use my huge piles of boulders for walls...and decor.....maybe....some are quite interesting---BTW I really do like this picture...you see..it made me stop and think...

Hi Judi yes that will increase water flow.I was advised not have a fountain and a cascade due to this increase in volume and as I also wanted water lillies that close up if (rain and)water from a fountain fall on them.
Took me so long to dig out my pond 22' x 16' all hand dug!
Have not yet installed pump as next stage is decking than attach pump to deck leg as it will jut out over the water. Well thats the theory .Best wishes.

Lovely feature blends nicely with natural stone wall.Several issues might be responsible.
The most obvious forgive me is that your pond is too full and overflows esp if you experience heavy rain . In raised ponds overflow pipes are often installed to discharge excess water discreetly.
You may also have a powerful pump that is drawing up a huge volume of water relative to size of pond.Try removing water from your pond in the first instance check your pump flow rate litres/hour should not need to be more than 2-2500 lires per hour if that.
All else fails drill hole in far corner insert platic pipe 3-4 inches below pond top and seal with silicone sealant.
Good luck will look great when planted up .Love the steps.

I agree! Picking them off by hand is most probably the best way of getting rid of them. Good luck - I hope your plants survive.

we had a similar infestation and now all is well, and the birds loved eating all the caterpillars...hope it's dry for a while
