Pond Renovations

Hello

A few photos from the beginning of the pond renovations ! Charly and I rescued about 50 snails (with houses) the day before and they are currently residing in bucket in her room. Her pets ! I have made it quite clear though that they are going back in the pond once it is finished - wait and see !

Last year the fish died after the winter as the pond was not deep enough, the pump also "packed a sad" and the pond was basically stagnant all summer. We - well the pond dudes - are currently digging it deeper, getting rid of all the green crap around the sides, hiding the big special underlay, planting special water plants to clean the water naturally and fixing the pump. Should be great when it's finished.

Here are some pikkies of the work in progress:















It's finished and the snails are in so wait and see. Have to wait a couple of months before we put in the fish in order to let the plants settle in though ! Charly is chomping at the bit !

Lara, Mike & Charly xxxooo

Great to see the pond is finished and once the plants take off it will look really good - nice that the snails are back in their own "house" eh Charly. Didnt take long to do afterall Lara. Luv M&D
