In other news: we have a pond (cat approved)

The natural pond unfortunately didn’t work out. We managed to slow the water loss but not by much, it was still draining after a week. In the end we went with a liner. Now to make it look more like a nice wildlife area and less like a big plastic sheet.

@Kimberley ooh nice 🙂

I am about to dig a pond here.. curious what you tried before the liner? Clay?

@Slash909uk i have a heavy clay soil so we removed all top soil and shaped and compacted the clay. It slowed down water loss a lot but not enough to permanently hold water.
