Nice one, man. Looks good and made the best use of the space there.
Hope the back gets better soon. Mine has gone again so I know the feeling.

This is me....Jeannie....a fan of the Pondigger. watching your video...!
Its a very nice pond! Well done! I am afraid to ask again for a pond....my hubs has had a back back. Enjoy the pond...you guys are a good team. :))
Thank you for the kind comments, yes your husband wants to be very careful as I am still in hospital now recovering from a discectomy operation. It was very tough on my back as I put every minute of my spare time into it. Ask some family/friends to help and just take your time and enjoy the project. Once finished it will be there for many years for you to enjoy! :)
well....actually we just always want different things. I hope your recovery goes well..let me know you do, OK?
Jeannie Rasmussen thank you. I’m fully recovered now
You need more plants down there
It’s all planted up now. Look in the video description for update videos
Can you do a new video please what a fantastic pond cheap and simple good job mate
Hello mate I’ve put update videos in the description
Thank you very much for this video! Can I ask what dimensions your pond is? Also, would you recommend the fish from that company you ordered from in the video? Thanks! & beautiful pond.
Hello yes I can recommend the company. I’ve used them a couple of times since this video. The pond is roughly 3 metres by 2 metres long
cute couple
How deep did you dig this 4-5 feet?
Can you do updates about the pond
Check the description I’ve added update video links 🐟
lovely pond and how do u manage to keep water clear, mine is covered with algae, even though I have plants, i have umbrella up at times to keep in shade and I've used barley straw.
A BIT OF THIS AND THAT Hello, I use a very big pump and filter, one that is designed for a much bigger pond. I also only top up with rain water from a water butt and have a lot of oxygenating weed in there also. The location is in full sun so that isn't a problem. Hope this helps!
+A BIT OF THIS AND THAT
What do you need is a pump/filter sytem with an UVC lamp inside. You can get them for 50-120 € depending on the size of your pond. Always remember when buying, if the pump is designed for a pond size (xxx l.) you must double the pump size if it is a fish pond. Works perfectly. ultra clear water cause the UVC lamp is killing all algea in the pond.
Boergy01 great answer. Thanks
Great pond fella I'm dying to
Do one but can't stand mess! Can I ask what can you do about green algi I can see you have it in your pond! You did a great job on your pond aswel dude it looks really nice
+Static underpants I've just got myself a grass carp so he is taking care of the algi for me!
Static underpants if you put a pump it will move the water around
No algi
how you made water flow? please elaborate sir!!!
+MADHUR JADHAV Using a heavy duty pond pump my friend
How long did this take you? Great video!
About a month in total
i want to make a natural pond, i want to use the lining then cover it about 1 feet of soil so natural plants n plankton could grow!
is it doable???
100% do able, just make sure you do it properly so that no mud is able to fall in the pond
Wht happens when it rains do the pond overflow
+James Depugh No it will never get that high. It is always slowly evaporating due to the waterfall anyway
how deep did you dig the hole? Thanks!
Around 1.5 metres deep
I wonder how the process of changing the water would go about, cuz as ya know bugs and mosquitoes would love to join the fishes :v
The fishes eat mosquito larvae so the more the better as live food is very good for them
Does it ever overflow from heavy rain?
+ziljin Hello no it's never rained enough to cause this issue. Also due to the waterfall water is slowly evaporating everyday anyway so if we didn't get unusually heavy rain for a long while there is room before it reaches the top.
have you used underlay or not?directly only pond liner?
+Yubraj Limbu Hello, yes.. I think it's very important to use some sort of underlay because how ever long you send removing all the stones and sharp edges some will be missed. I used lots of old carpet for underlay!
next, how to dig your own swimming pool 😀
+Col A North East I will have to run that past my partner!
mothballjim I see yeah I guess it's always best to ask permission first! 👍
what kind of plastic that you use ? i mean for the black one
Heavy duty pond liner, link in the description my friend
what was the black carpet? rubber or plastic?
Heavy duty plastic pond liner
Where did you find an affordable water pump? I can't find one anywhere
I think i got it from amazon, you can read the reviews first before buying one to make sure it is recommended
Did you get slipped disc because of all the shovelling ?
No, because of lifting the big waterfall rocks
What is the black plastic called that you've kept before adding water?
+Devil Hunter pond liner
mothballjim where can i get it?

Pond update video as requested Water boatman eating a frog and Pond update video Thanks for watching!
+mothballjim hi guys, the greatest results that ive ever had was by following the Keiths Ponics Site (just google it) without a doubt the most incredible info that I've tried.
Thanks for reply my question...
What kind of fish did you get
The type that swim
How often need to changed the water...?
Any problem in winter season for fish...?
+Orchid Htang I try and change the water once a year when I clean all the filter etc but that's not essential. If you do change the water try and fill it back up with as much rain water as possible. That way it won't stay as cloudy for long and it's better for this fish. Winter season is fine, with the water fall always flowing it means that the top will never fully freeze over.
Can you explain about your water filter and how it was fitted please. Also, I've seen other videos where they put a carpet or sand down before adding the liner. It's refreshing that you didn't do this but any problems with the liner?
duffgen62 hello, I used old carpet as underlay
Can you plz tell me what happens if rain comes... I mean does it fill and fishes come out? What precautions u take?
Psychotube Creations It’s never rained enough to cause me any concerns. The water is always naturally evaporating quicker anyway due to the waterfall
mothballjim The reason i asked u that is i live in a place where we have heavy rains, so outdoor pond will cause problems if im not wrong.. Ur opinions would help me.
mothballjim But uv dne a great job...
👍
How many gallon is? And what dimensions have the pond?
Hello, it is roughly. 1.5 meters deep. 3 meters long and 2 meters wide
Slipped disk? I saw you with the shovel!
It was ok until I collected the rocks for the waterfall
Zajebiste 👍👍👍
whats an update on this pond? Seems so hard to keep clean. Water doesn't move very much
Still crystal clear water. I will do an update video soon if enough people want one!
+mothballjim I do!
any frogs yet?
Uhriah Love link in description 💕
the1gunner yes lots now
What is that black paper
What do you mean?
how about the filter? you using the filter or no?
+alip galih Yeah the filter is hidden under the fake rock on the left hand side
Link in the description to the filter and pump set that I used
PLZ THE ADDED TO GUPPIES
hevay!
I just hate conifers, a dull standard used in the californian surburban style of the Sunset popular garden series.
What type/grade of plastic sheet was used to retain water ?
A heavy duty pond liner that has a lifetime warranty!
green algae hole ????? Gorgeous girfriend though..10/10
Cheers. She’s a lucky girl
@@mothballjim actually..not a bad pond either
You debunked nothing, but the fishpond looks great :P
Thank you dude
Very nice 👍 check out building a backyard fish pond in less than 3 minutes
+Carlos Oquendo Thanks. Will check it out now!
mothballjim ok have a great day
Old video I can guarantee you this pond has long been filled in! There to high maintenance in uk! Algae, bad winters and herons!!
Nope it’s still going strong my friend
U could of gone and caught them
How to make waterfall.
You dont show
Sorry my friend it’s very straightforward though just go to pond guru TH-cam channel and he will show you how
I can see the liner in the back ground it doesn't look natural in my view , Otherwise nice .
I’m glad your view is irrelevant
There is no world called ''Fishes''. The correct word is ''Fish''
+tharuka lanka Thank you, please don't hit me
My homeworld is called Fishes, so you are wrong my good sir.
Everyone knows but many still say fishes 😁
number 1 fishes is actually a word
number 2 you should be focusing on your spelling and not other ppls word usage
Kaitlyn Antoun interesting debate
,????
It does not describe how to do it...just a few pictures. He is lucky that the fish didn't die. You need to leave them stay in the plastic bag for about half an hour so the temperature change doesn't kill them. It is a pretty pond, but it is not really a tutorial.
+Shelby Olsen glad you enjoyed the tutorial
Them fish still alive? Lol or been eaten by a heron?
Still going strong 🐠
Another Update video is here. Thanks for all the positive comments th-cam.com/video/ksblzUJuPsw/w-d-xo.html
It isn't natural and it doesn't look natural either. Ditch the rocks and get some water plants
Your face isn’t natural
Poor fish. They are free no longer. And at what cost? For a garden decoration representing the vile, saddistic nature of man.
A life away from predictors with a constant supply of food so cruel
mothballjim I can make that very argument while keeping your entire family locked in my basement.
I agree it is not cruel keeping fish in a pond away from predators and get given food
MyFishCare You're simply more sociopathic than other humans. You can't help that. But there are some excercises people like you can do to invoke empathy: imagine YOURSELF in a VERY tiny prison cell (fish actually swim GREAT lengths over a very big area). Is that a life worth living, even with free food and protection from mugging, car crashes and terrorist attacks? Think of all the things you miss out on! It's the same with the fish; adding some rocks, plants and a tiny diver doesn't improve its living conditions as much as you like to think.
leirgauk Notice you're the ONLY fucktard freak harping on about animal cruelty on an "home improvement" video. LOL! But this must be the story of your life. The anti-social weirdo that sat alone during lunch, and got laughed at all throughout his life.
