A long way go, butt\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today I bit the proverbial projectile, and bought us a new pond liner. Trying to make a silk purse from a sow\u2019s ear was going to cost almost as much, and might\u2019ve failed anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I bought a 3m x4m liner, which has proven much more than enough. As these pictures attest, there\u2019s still a long ways to go. I need to trim all the excess liner, and then cover it. To \u2018bed it in\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling the pond was quite an Odyssey! Prob\u2019 took the best part of two hours, poss\u2019 longer? At one point I thought it must have a leak. But patience and Percy de Vere-ence paid off. And she\u2019s now full. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got some free pond plant(s) from a lovely lady, Patricia Vere, who posts a lot on nextdoor.co.uk. I\u2019m not 100% sure how we should plant them though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So\u2026. Trimming, covering (gravel, turf, rocks?), adding plants\u2026 there\u2019s plenty more to be done. Also the tap water will need time (or treatment) to naturalise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018green room\u2019 is coming along nicely. Sitting beneath it, the wisteria is nearing the point where it\u2019ll give us shade. Like me and the pond, tho\u2019, it\u2019s still got a ways to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
