There is space in the yard, and I have actually had the idea of ​​building a pond for a long time. During that time, I kept reading various posts about building a pond and gained a lot.

The west side of the yard is less than 3 meters wide. The volume of the pond is determined as 5 meters long from north to south, 2 meters wide from east to west, 20 centimeters below the soil layer, 1 meter above the soil layer, 1.2 meters high, and 70 centimeters high. The water retaining ridge grids the pond into a pattern with a water and land area ratio of 3:2:

Three-level ladder waterway:

Water inlet pipe:

Water pipe:

Water inlet and outlet:

Drainage straight through Sewer:

Water retaining ridge and gentle slope:

After cement powder:

Replacement of supporting columns:

After the pool is built, Do the waterproofing first, then install the tiles. Then there is the water test to test the waterproofing effect and soaking in water to remove alkali. Put some vinegar in the water to speed up the alkali removal process. Within about a month, the water was changed three times, and green moss began to grow on the walls of the pool.

Overflow:

Then the scenery begins! . Since the pond is divided into two areas: water and land, the original idea was to plant lotus and water lilies in the water area and place a tree stump for the turtles to bask on their backs. The land area was covered with turf to leave the spawning pool empty, and a tree root was also placed for the turtles to hide. The materials are ready-made, all of them are elm wood, and the shape is good. The tree trunk is about waist thick and 2 meters long; the tree roots are also quite distinctive:

The water area is filled with soil to a thickness of 30 centimeters, the tree trunks are put in, and after the plants are planted, the water is soaked in the pool.

When it first soaked in water, it was just a mud pond:

In the pond, a bamboo fence was used to enclose an area, and aquatic plants were planted inside the fence, so that there would be no interference from adult turtles. Growing well. Otherwise, the destructive power of turtles cannot be underestimated. In addition, this has the advantage of placing some small sub-bodies and large seedlings in the area. After all, the destructive power of small turtles is limited.
