Nearly a month since the last report on the pond. With the heavy rains over the last few weeks, it is rapidly coming up to it's design level with rainwater. Won't be long now.
I just need a dry spell to re-rotavate the edges, clear out any weeds from the soil and then Hay can get on with planning the planting for spring. It's going to look really nice next year as it matures and the plastic gets hidden by algae. Gabion baskets need filling to the top yet and the pond liner in the bottom right corner still looks a tad ragged. That might ,however, be hidden by some marginal planting in spring.
Hay is in it regularly, both for maintenance purposes on the filtration / aeration system and the odd cold water swim.
We're certainly going to have plenty of time to play with it over the next few weeks of lockdown - or rather I am, as Hay will continue to work from home, but my work will cease for the duration.
