Naively we have dug a 10ft deep hole in clay. Its 30ft long by about 15ft wide tapering to about 8ft at each end. The pond is spring fed. We have used pea shingle around the edges of the pond and railway sleepers to create a non planted rudimentary regeneration area. We are yet to plant this area. We have not used a liner due to cost and our belief that the clay would not leak. ( It doesn't). We absolutely love having the pond. We also realise this whole swimming pond thing is alot more complicated than we thought.
First question: can we still swim in the pond ?
Is the algea harmful to us.
Do we need to start again ?
Introduce a liner, water circulation, filtration, plants....?
Its a big experiment that we are not expecting to be get anywhere near right few weeks in, but all help from informed experienced pond lovers, would be very gratefully received. Many thanks Patch Robertson
