Inspired to finally act by all the posts on Twitter and other channels I have created a washing up bowl pond in the garden.
I have been thinking about putting in a larger pond for ages but couldn't work out the where to position it... will it get the right amount of sunlight, will I still be able to get to the flowerbeds, will I be able to cut the grass.
The best position is in a small patch of grass that has a natural dip in it so water will run into the pond. I have put the washing up bowl pond in this spot so that this could be enlarged at a later date.
The only questions now are will anything turn up and use the pond and how am I going to to do the washing up!
