Pond digging in February? But there is still ground frost! Exactly, and that is intentional! Because the heavy machinery can cause major damage to the ground, and the ground frost protects against that.


While it is still freezing cold outside, we already started excavating a spacious water area, which is divided into deep zones for wintering pond dwellers, shallow water areas and shore or marsh areas. On the area there is a larger area with waterlogging, which is perfect for this.

Originally, it was planned to build a natural pond, that is, a pond without a basin and foil. In the course of the excavation work, however, we discovered that there are sand lenses at a depth of about half a meter, which unfortunately do not hold any water, so we had to work with foil and adjusted the shape of the pond a little.

 

In addition to the large pond, smaller ponds were also excavated, which will provide an ideal home for smaller aquatic animals in the future.
