Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this colorful Garden Ponds Made Easy title, authors Dennis Kelsey-Wood and Tom Barthell have provided an essential guide for first-time pond enthusiasts. The authors outline all of the considerations for starting out with a new pond, including determining the site, style, size of the pond, and deciding on the construction of the pond (whether preformed, concrete, or fiberglass). Garden Ponds offers a chapter on water which discusses water chemistry factors, volume of the pond, and pond surface. Other important factors involve the aeration, filtration, drainage, and maintenance of a clean (algae-free) pond. Special features, including waterfalls, fountains, and watercourses, electricity, and landscaping are addressed in detail, all accompanied by color photographs and drawings. A chapter on pond construction details every step of the project from creating a blueprint to securing the foundation. The infinite choices involved with stocking the pond with fish and plants can be overwhelming for the first-time pond owner, and the authors give excellent advice about making smart choices for a harmonious, beautiful garden pond. A special chapter on seasonal pond care gives the pond keeper recommendations for maintaining the pond all year long. Resources and glossary included.

Book excerpt: "It's up to every single one of us to do our bit for wildlife, however small our gardens, and The Butterfly Brothers know just how that can be achieved." Alan Titchmarsh Join the rewilding movement and share your outdoor space with nature. We all have the potential to make the world a little greener. Wild Your Garden, written by Jim and Joel Ashton (aka "The Butterfly Brothers"), shows you how to create a garden that can help boost local biodiversity. Transform a paved-over yard into a lush oasis, create refuges to welcome and support native species, or turn a high-maintenance lawn into a nectar-rich mini-meadow to attract bees and butterflies. You don't need specialist knowledge or acres of land. If you have any outdoor space, you can make a difference to local wildlife, and reduce your carbon footprint, too. "Wildlife gardening is one of the most important things you can do as an individual for increasing biodiversity and mitigating the effects of climate change. From digging a pond to planting a native hedge, the Butterfly Brothers can help you every step of the way." Kate Bradbury

Building Natural Ponds is the first step-by-step guide to designing and building natural ponds that use no pumps, filters, chemicals, or electricity and mimic native ponds in both aesthetics and functionality. Highly illustrated with how-to drawings and photographs, coverage includes: Understanding pond ecosystems and natural algae control Planning, design, siting, and pond aesthetics Step-by-step guidance for construction, plants and fish, and maintenance and trouble shooting Scaling up to large ponds, pools, bogs, and rain gardens. Whether you're a backyard gardener looking to add a small serene natural water feature or a homesteader with visions of a large pond for fish, swimming, and irrigation, Building Natural Ponds is the complete guide to building ponds in tune with nature, where plants, insects, and amphibians thrive in blissful serenity.

As well as offering practical tips and advice on designing, planting up and maintaining your pond, Jules encourages readers to explore the wildlife that colonises it with a torch, a microscope or a good old-fashioned pond-dipping net. With a foreword by award-winning wildlife-gardening author, Kate Bradbury, this helpful new guide includes a section outlining the hundreds of organisms that may turn up in your pond and is packed with creative ideas that have been tried and tested by author Jules Howard, an avid pond-builder, prolific pond-dipper and passionate voice for freshwater conservation for more than fifteen years.

Book excerpt: In this ultra stressful world, means of relaxation and a must. One of the best of these, if you have the space is a garden fish pond. An alternative could be a fish tank in the house. Owning a garden fish pond brings a plethora of joys that enhance the overall homeowner experience. Firstly, the tranquil and soothing ambiance created by the gentle sound of water and the graceful movements of colourful fish can be incredibly relaxing, providing a peaceful retreat from the stresses of everyday life. It also adds a touch of natural beauty to the landscape, becoming a focal point for outdoor gatherings and family bonding. Moreover, tending to a garden pond can be a rewarding hobby that fosters a deeper connection with nature. Watching the fish thrive and the aquatic plants flourish under your care instills a sense of accomplishment and responsibility. It also provides an opportunity for learning about aquatic ecosystems and the delicate balance required to maintain water quality. Additionally, a garden fish pond attracts wildlife, such as birds and butterflies, contributing to biodiversity and creating a vibrant ecosystem right in your backyard. Finally, having a pond can be a great educational tool for children, teaching them about aquatic life and environmental conservation. Overall, owning a garden fish pond brings joy, serenity, and a sense of harmony with nature to any homeowner's life. I have had both. I often found myself watching the fish in my tank rather than the television in the corner, but a fish pond is more realistic and makes a fantastic focus of attention. Outdoor fish are also more likely to breed, as they will be local. A garden fish pond also takes less maintenance than a tank. This manual will teach you how to choose a site for your pond; how to stock it, and how to maintain it so that your fish lead happy lives. If you have any feedback, please leave it with the company you bought this book from.
