Brilliant what a gorgeous pond - love the big cobbles that lead to it and also the planting around it

Thanks all, it gives me much pleasure. When we dug it out (luckily all sand and easy going) I actually swam in it altough it was only 3 strokes, I still did it lol. I was in it to ensure the liner had few creases in it and used the water pressure to stretch it out - the things we do.

lovely, iv had lots of blanket weed this year and have added something to clear it but still taking it out every day, are you getting this KF ?

Thats such a lovely pond you have there Kfunsters, it looks so natural, with all the cobbles and the water plants.

We are getting blanket weed aswell Sanbaz, and lots of it! It seems that its really bad this year. We have tried all these different thing to cure it even an electrical device thats supposed to zap it, but what a waste of money. I think the best thing (but still not brilliant) is the Barley straw...... Good luck with it anyway.

Blanket Weed swear swear swear - a constant battle. I have two large filters that have UV lights which is supposed to do the job - but it hasn't. I have barley straw bales and I have added treatments. Then I spend time with a cane hooking out what I can. If I didn't do all of this my pond would be full of the damned stuff.
