Product Information

Pond levels will naturally fluctuate throughout the year so the best option is to just to let your pond levels change with the weather. A lot of pond life is adapted to water bodies that dry out completely in the summer. However, if you want your pond to remain as a water source for animals over the summer or grow plants that can't tolerate a pond drying up completely, you may wish to add water. Pond water doesn't need cleaning (different advice applies for fish ponds). It may become cloudy from time to time, usually after heavy rain, but this will usually settle after a few days. Sometimes an oily film may appear, which usually precedes algae (see below). Attracting animals to your pond Any pond can become a feeding ground for birds, hedgehogs and bats – the best natural garden pest controllers! Your pond needn’t be big. A washing-up bowl, a large plant pot, or a disused sink could all be repurposed as ponds, providing you make sure creatures can get in and out. This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

If you dig a pond it is better to create your own shape and use a flexible pond liner rather than a pre-formed, plastic mould. The pre-formed pond moulds are usually too deep and too steep-sided. Planting pond plants is easy. Many floating and submerged plants don't have roots and can simply be placed in your pond in the open water. Marginal and emergent plants can usually be wedged into the gravel or stones at the bottom and edges of your pond - adding soil to the pond may lead to algae growth.Floating plants are good for attracting insects and amphibians that lay eggs in the pond or on the underside of floating vegetation. Frogbit ( Hydrocharis morsus-ranae) is suitable for very small ponds. Fill the container with rainwater if possible rather than tap water. Use Chlorine Guard if you have used tap water. For many, the Museum is a place that inspires learning, gives purpose and provides hope. People tell us they 'still get shivers walking through the front door', and thank us for inspiring the next generation of scientists. If desired, a few small fish and a wide variety of plants can be added to create your very own one-of-a-kind aquatic paradise. Small children are fascinated by ponds. To minimise the risk of children falling into a larger pond you might want to add a barrier (a hedge or fence), a heavy metal mesh over the surface or increase supervision.

The container measures 23.5" in diameter and 9 7/8" tall, small enough to fit in any space, but large enough to make an impact. The cord is 13' Long If you create a pond during autumn or winter there will usually be plenty of rain to fill your pond but you might need to wait until spring for pond plants to be available. Conversely, in spring and summer it is easy to buy pond plants but you might need to wait for rain. Where to position your wildlife pondFill the container to the top with rainwater and add at least one oxygenating plant. The plants are key to a healthy pond habitat.

Excessive growth of algae such as blanket weed can be an issue for ponds, particularly ones topped up with tap water or where the sediment is regularly disturbed. The integrated filter provides an ideal location for plants while acting as a biological filter to keep the water clean and clear. A tranquil waterfall provides soothing sounds and enjoyment. The LED waterfall light can be used to illuminate the water as it cascades into the pond.
