create ponds create ponds
Richard Jones

Water has a special magic, provides a constantly changing focus in the garden, and adds to a feeling of calm. What’s more, for the natural gardener it performs an invaluable function, enticing a whole range of useful amphibians, birds, insects and other wildlife. If the idea of a water feature is appealing, however, the result often isn’t. Poor planning and maintenance can land you with a green, stagnant bog. This book gives you clear, concise advice on how to plan, build and maintain a pond in even the most modest garden – and without spending a fortune. Create Ponds is endorsed by the HDRA and the Soil Association, so you know you can trust all the organic advice it contains. 56pp
