FAQs 2: Where should I build my pond?

Updated: 01 May 2007
Things to think about when you are looking for a site for your pond
Q: I've got a rectangular shaped garden with a tree in the top left-hand corner
(horse chestnut) and a group of various deciduous trees in the bottom
right-hand corner. The garden is 15ft long x 12 feet wide, and the trees
cover roughly 2m2 in each corner. The rest of the garden is grass, with some
flower beds around the edges. Where would the best place be to site a Koi
pond? Do I have to be concerned about the trees dropping leaves in the pond?
Or should I consider cutting down the trees?

Heron Visited my Pond

Updated: 16 Jan 2007
Sucking koi- these koi are eagerly feeding but they could be gasping for air.

Hi, my pond has been visited by a heron recently and all my big Koi are spending all their time sucking at the waterfall. Is this a result of stress or a lack of oxygen?

Many thanks in anticipation of your advice.

Regards, Bob
