There are some random photo's of the pond as a work in progress. We had some big help from Marshalll and Donald, and of course quite a lot of preparation work was done by Tim and Justin.
Overnight we got 4mm of rain and there is a good little puddle in the bottom already. I think it won't take many inches of rainfall before we see the spillway flow.
Unfortunately I seem to have tweaked my shoulder in a big way. I can't think of any one moment where I did anything, but I guess dragging carpet and plastic around as much as we did will do that to you...
Right now, Justin is making some cuttings of the garden sweet potato's to plant around the edges. I think that will be the quickest way to cover the ground and stop too much erosion. Perhaps we'll do clumps of vetiver and lemon grasses too. Maybe I should actually get some landscaping water features type books and have a good think about it...
