How to build a simple backyard fishpond: From pond construction to feeding fish
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июл 2024
- A DIY fishpond can become the best feature in your backyard, your favorite hangout, a project you’ll be proud of for years. Most backyard fish ponds are small and built with liners to simplify construction.
A small garden pond should be located where it can get four to six hours of sunlight. This will help to keep the pond healthy and clean. Avoid placing the pond where runoff from rain will run into the water.
While you can use various materials to make your fish pond, materials such as dam liners are generally less durable and not strong enough that in 6 to 12 months they would have torn up so badly. Tarpaulin pond liner is an excellent option for those who want to do fish farming on a small to medium scale. Tarpaulin materials can also be used for backyard duck ponds, artificial dams, simple swimming pools, garden ponds and water harvesting.
Tarpaulins are also used in various other situations and to achieve several objectives such as protecting people and belongings against wind, rain, and sunlight. So a tarpaulin fish pond is definitely strong enough to keep your fish pond intact for several years.
Many tarpaulins are claimed to be waterproof. However, some materials such as canvas and jute that are used to make some cheap quality tarpaulins are not really waterproof. Instead, these tarpaulins will be given a coating, such as wax coating, to give them some level of water-resistant properties.

Thank you so much for your very informative video,am really enjoying it and am interested to try it at my backyard.my question is: would it be ok for me to use a bare dug out pond without any pond liner or taupaline? Meaning just water into a dug out and fingerlings in.
My earthen pond's water source is from a borehole, please how often should I drain the pond
Very smart

Is there a way to treat chlorine water naturally?
Am so interested, and how do you remove the water if it's dirty.
Very educative piece of information! Any outlets in South Africa, Botswana or Zimbabwe you can recommend for procurement of Tarpaulin material?
Do you allow animals like ducks in the pond after you put in the fish?
Won't they eat the fish

Does one have to introduce algae seeds to the pond?
How to start keeping layers??

Pls how much does it cost to start a fish pond in Nigeria

It makes no sense to use ducks in the pond as they will swallow all the fish
In theory, it makes no sense, but practically it does because ducks will rarely eat your fish. if anything, they will actually feed your fish their poop. They will concentrate on enjoying their swim and mating, not on eating fish. Again, when there are possible predators on the water's surface, fish often go underwater. While ducks can go there too, that rarely happens because ducks enjoy swimming on the water's surface.
Hi. Just looked at your website. Thanks. You say it’s better to have a monosex pond of males but you state somewhere else that if you have ducks you need females. I want to keep ducks, what in your opinion is the best way to go? Thanks
