Bunny explains how to achieve a crystal clear pond with minimal effort. A few basic principles ensure her own pond looks good all year round despite it being one of the easiest parts of the garden to maintain.
Her top tips cover: getting the balance of the water correct; sunlight on pools; aquatic plants and dividing water lilies; and using AquaBio - a product by the Aga Group and available from lakeaid.co.uk. Applying this non toxic product in Autumn will help no end to keep the pond clear by sweetening the aquasoil that forms at the bottom of ponds, causing green algae to form.
Bunny also shows how to use non-toxic pool dye by DioFix to create an illusion of depth and maximise reflections.
Most importantly Bunny looks at how to keep children safe by pools by installing a grid system just below the water line. When her own children were young she designed her own grid system but commercial products are available - such as those from pondsafety.com
And she corrects a design fault in her own pool by completely re-lining it, quite a major task. Bunny talks through the pros of using EPDM as opposed to Butyl liner. Supplied by worldofwater.com it's the rolls royce of pond liner and comes with a 20 year guarantee.
She also explains exactly how to install the liner, crucial to get right if you want a pond to last for many years and the liner to look as unobtrusive as possible.
