I took german classes, couple of years ago. For some reason I love listening to someone who speak German as native language. You have very soft and pleasant voice.
You did this by hand? Wow. You are an inspiration, and a reminder that a little work, over and over, will yield a big result. Thank you for posting this
@@safffff1000 That is why I would use a garden sprinkler, or maybe just a shower pistol, to get the right soak. And instead of an excavator (which could be rented for a day, fairly inexpensively) I once used a gas powered tiller to dig a pond, to loosen the soil before digging. A bit of hard work operating it, but it did the job.
I started a job like this two years ago. Even with my own mini excavator I realised it was too much work for me. You've inspired me to think again. I wonder what you could do if you had machinery, you'd be unstoppable 😁
Machinery is overrated. Just work on it everyday for 20 minutes . It's about not missing any days and being habitual. There was a guy 20 years ago that ate a whole train car that had been processed into powder. Just a couple spoonfuls a day add up over time.
You rock. I’m doing it. Starting with a smaller pond/fountain and garden in the center and horseshoe shaped orchard adjacent. Then a swimming pond will start. Thanks for the Inspiration and showing it can be done by hand. Also noting the air pumps vs water pumps.
wow, none of the other videos had the ground water well up and into the new built pond. That is an important point to have a sump pump to that and drainage trench. otherwise when it rains there could be the problem all over. I live in an alpine rainforest. Thank you so much!
Most all of the videos seen on youtube are people building their first pond and then trying to tell people how to do it. Many of them will have this problem because they never thought about it. That's pretty much what you get with most diy videos.
@@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologistsI don`t think that they want to tell how to do it, I think they just want to share how they did it so that others can learn from them. But it`s true, most of the time it`s their first pond. In my case, it`s the third pond.
@@manuelangerer-permaculture I have been saying or asking, which is better , 1000 people doing one thing or one person doing something 1000 times. What we are getting on youtube is the former where the actual knowledge is in the latter case . I continue to learn after 40 plus years of creating waters. I do try to lend basic knowledge to the public , but the proprietary methods remain closed. I would actually prefer a large group offer a significant sum so I can just release what I know for the benefit of the world.
This is beautiful. Thanks for giving so much detail, and for sharing the wobbles along the way - this is the first natural swimming pond video that has left me feeling like the whole thing is do-able! Thanks :)
I bet your family is so grateful for your hard work and tenacity to take on such a labor intensive project like this one. Turning a little pond, that your not really doing anything with, into a beautiful swimming area is something you’ll all be able to enjoy for a lifetime. You’ll all make life long memories on that pound. It’s lovely and something really special for your family. Well done and congrats!
What a lot of work, but looks to be so very worth it! I'd love a natural pond, but at 72, it's well beyond me to create by hand. The advantages of having the ways and means to create wonderful things while still young! You, your hard work, and lovely creation are amazing!
wow Manuel, was für ein wunderschönes Projekt und so inspirierend zu sehen was ein Mann alleine alles schaffen kann! So schön euch 3 am Ende zusammen im neuen Herzen eurer Oase zu sehen!!! Ach ich kann kaum in Worte fassen wie sehr ich mich mit euch freue!!! Alles Liebe zu euch!
@@manuelangerer-permaculture it would be great to know, if you’re happy with the 1.4 m depth and in general the dimensions of the swimming area and the plant area. Also explaining again this whole drainage thing which isn’t fully clear to me yet. Thanks for the great explanations so far. After watching a few of these natural pool videos, I now finally understood with your video this whole air pump technique.
I would very much be interested in watching more harvesting, planting, any gardening, cooking and recipes. I'm really hoping you'll add more content. 😊
Wow, that pond looks great! I am looking forward to seeing it in a in spring or summer next year, when it is hopefully nice and grown in. Really good job :)
It always freaks me out when i am outside, without my phone, having a conversation with someone, then the next day there are videos on my feed about my conversation.
☺️ Just this morning I taped a piece of business card over my selfie camera. I'm feeling the conspiracy paranoia! It was freaky the first time I had irrefutable evidence that my phone was always listening even when I was out of cell range, unable to call or text but the GPS was working...and apparently the microphone, too. Lovely insidious malevolent devices. Next RUclips, please!
saya suka video Anda, keren sekali, butuh waktu berapa lama untuk membuat surga seperti ini, tak terbayang jika musim hujan datang, rumput dan pohon makin hijau, pasti indah sekali.
Absolutely incredible effort. Amazing results. Looking to do this myself and you’ve inspired me to just do it. Can’t quite believe you dug it by hand. Incredible!
awesome work man I did the same kind of pool 7 years ago with same design and bubblers. best decision ever did the mistake with retaining wall built with bags and sand/concrete mix, it crumbles a bit some places, your wood wall is a better solution also never been really able to get rid of deposit on bottom of pool the water is cristal clear but always deposit building on bottom and gravel area. overall best thing to do on a property I think, so cheap also compared to classic pools and the wildlife is insane, we even have water snakes
Did You try cleaning using a pool vacuum or would this cause some problems? David Pagan Butler also made a video of a DIY vacuum with pipe and air bubbler..having a swim pond Is my dream
You have a nice pond as the reward of the hard work of your hands to get the project done. Nice summary video, ill be interested to see update videos in years to come how the drain and pump system hold up. Thanks
J"admire vraiment l'énergie dont tu as fait preuve dans ce projet..et je vais creuser ton système a bulles d'air...quoique je craigne quand même le bruit du compresseur...mais sans doute qu en isolant le caisson...En tous cas bravo!..😀
All of that topsoil must have come in handy as well..... 2:46 and I should have waited to comment. Brilliant idea using the dirt that way. But based on how well you designed your system overall, I'm not surprised. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great build lots of dedication. Now you need a nice sitting area with a fire burning barrel to heat up the pond for all year use two and one project. One side will be a nice fire pit and the other side of it will actually be a coil copper coil, going in and out of the pond and that will heat the water

You embody the old saying: "Where there's a will, there's a way". Great work, congrats!!
I was about to say, where there is a pool there's a fool, but this looks really great, an example to follow!
don't say that to pedophiles
The fix for the original flood/setback is rather genius. Well done indeed.

Lol, you could jump up and down on a shovel on my property and it won't dig in, this guys lucky to have such compliant soil
@@safffff1000 try watering the soil first.
@@tzenophile Rain hardly works. A 1800 psi power washer will slowly wash it away. Excavators or skid steers work, which I don't have

The beauty of owning land and shaping it how you wish.
in my gardeb i'm trying to dig a underground space but where do i put the soil????
thats my dream…. living in a concrete jungle running around in the rat 🐀 race grind is so unhealthy
@@bobbyziggy85 would a garden be enough for you? is that land? what would you do with it?
@@alanssnack1192 Use the soil to build a lookout post. It will be more fun.

Amazing work! I can't believe you did this all by yourself!
Exhausting work! You don’t mind an enormous project all on your own !
This looks like paradise! I hope we get another look once it's all grown in. Thank you so much for sharing!

Simply lovely. Serious work ethic and it was definitely rewarded.
Well done!! What an example. Your family is very fortunate to have you 🙏💖

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this... in such a gracious, kind way. 😊
Incredible amount of work, and I love how natural everything is. I hope you are enjoying your pond, and it brings you joy, every day
I'm in awe that one man made this whole thing. Amazing!

Impressive !!! Such a nice job, the deck is beautiful
Hi, thanks for sharing the video and your experience very helpful as I’m starting to plan my pond.
Congratulations Manuel - fantastic work and result!!
Thanks a lot!!
One rock at a time, One shovel full at a time. It is all worth it. Looks amazing. I am still working on mine.
bravo my friend
big fan of your work and pleasant Voice.
..and there it is at 13:16 motivation to do all this hard work. Loved ones. Beautiful

Hallo Guten morgen
Wonderful work! The pond is alive! I appreciate the respect you showed the creatures, plants, and earth. New sub.
I hope you make an update in a few months on how it's doing after a year. This will be my guide to make one in a few years!
I already do some filming for the Update!

Thanks! I'll do an update on the pond next summer!
that was really interesting. I like how just air bubbles doing their job, kept the water gin clear!
What a beautiful pond you built there! Looks so natural and peaceful. Great project!
Thanks!!
Unbelievable work! I cannot believe you did that all by hand!
It always freaks me out when i am outside, without my phone, having a conversation with someone, then the next day there are videos on my feed about my conversation.
They record everything. Just wait untill you think of something and then it shows up on your phone without ever mentioning it👀
Right? They are reading our minds…
@@lozo4745....it happens quite often, even to others that I know.
We're being spied on. Your phone is listening, and adapts the algorithm. Its not by chance.

Next RUclips, please!
respect for your effort. Thanks also for the info. You will be happy for the result
Looks great! Seems like it cleared up very quickly. This is a project we look forward to at our farm as well.
Yes, the bubble pumps do a great job! All the best for your future pond build!
Danke für die tolle Dokumentation dieses Projektes, sieht genial aus!
Danke :)
Your pond is amazing, I am inspired to try this out myself, thank you for sharing! I am curious how large is your swimming pond?
Thanks a lot! The pond is about 100m², the swimming area about 45m²
Love this. You have such a calm determination about you. Inspiring.
Thanks a lot :)
Came here to see you dig the pond up by hand, disappointed. False advertising
I wasn`t aware that someone could think that someone dugs a pond by "hand". Of course I use a shovel!
Just amazing ! Congratulation for good job ! All your place look very very nice 😊
saya suka video Anda, keren sekali, butuh waktu berapa lama untuk membuat surga seperti ini, tak terbayang jika musim hujan datang, rumput dan pohon makin hijau, pasti indah sekali.
It is absolutely gorgeous! I really felt for you when the rain came. But the end result was well worth the hard work! Magnificent!
Unbelievable!!😲🥰 wish You a strong health and long happy life for Your family!🙏🍀🌞🌌
You champion, I was looking for a design on the bubble pump system. Well, I found it. No small feat moving that amount of material by hand... 👍
You work is a mere soul therapy, this what I called it therapy by work❤
Yes I feel like that too when I do work like this!
Absolutely incredible effort. Amazing results. Looking to do this myself and you’ve inspired me to just do it. Can’t quite believe you dug it by hand. Incredible!
YES LET`S GO! :)
awesome work man
I did the same kind of pool 7 years ago with same design and bubblers.
best decision ever
did the mistake with retaining wall built with bags and sand/concrete mix, it crumbles a bit some places, your wood wall is a better solution
also never been really able to get rid of deposit on bottom of pool
the water is cristal clear but always deposit building on bottom and gravel area.
overall best thing to do on a property I think, so cheap also compared to classic pools
and the wildlife is insane, we even have water snakes

Very nice. So impressed you did it all by hand.
Thanks a lot! :)
Wow! One person with a dream can move mountains of dirt! Great job my friend it looks amazing
Thanks a lot! :)
man you are such a hard worker! I loved watching this. Time to check out the 1 year update :)
Amazing! 700 wheel-barrels, that is some serious work. I love it. It would be nice to see what it looks like once the plants mature.
There will be an update!
Great work you did and also very interesting knowhow you share, thanks

The pond looks beautiful
I only built a small pond by hand and was terribly sore for days after don't know you you managed but great job your a beast.
Thanks yes it is hard work!
Absolutely beautiful, good work man. I've done my share of DIY but 11 days of digging would've driven me mad, nicely done!
YOU made an awesome swimming pond!!
Thanks!!
Great work! Thanks for sharing all the details
love david pagan butler and his ponds, super excited to see you make one!
Yes this system is so cool!
Wow buddy you did a really good job. That pond looks great!
Happy future with a big Smile from Australia.
Wow! This is amazing! Hopefully it will last forever ❤
It looks like the same principle used in waste treatment systems......nice job!
Yes it`s pretty much the same!
You are so determined and I am subscribing, ….. thanks for sharing so well the basics and the process ….
RUclips is home to some amazing people. Nice work, Sir.
That’s an impressive hole you dug. 😮
Yes it was!
Nicely done, I really like the filtration idea, would be interesting to see how it stands the rest of time in a video down the road !
Coming in a few days! 🙂
Восхитительно! Вы - большой труженик!
