We had carefully planned to have the new conservatory finished well before we started having work done on the pond. Oh well.
The large pond in garden was initially successful, but we’ve been having trouble keeping it full since we had some shading trees removed. Hot summers lead to rapid evaporation. (Not that this summer has been hot, of course.) Also, the conservatory has led to reduced planting areas.
So the idea is to slim the pond down, surround it with a path, and change half of it into a sunken garden (with a much smaller second pond in its centre, to be nicely recursive).
Today that work started, with a tiny wee digger grubbing out the old pond, leaving a quagmire.
