New to Ponds. Installed a pond last year with shelves and O/A depth of aprox 600mm.
I now plan to set a top quality porcelain tile (300 x 600 x 20mm thick) around the pond. The construction is formed from 50mm wide timber sunk into the ground and lined with EDPM liner, which has performed as required thus far.
I will set the tile to overhang the water edges by 75 mm. This I am told will be fine and won't crack as it is a very light traffic area.
Any advice on how to bond the porcelain outdoor tile, 20mm thick to the edpm and the concrete I proposes to pour 50mm thick from the outer pond edges by 225mm to align with the tile /gravel junction? ( or I might steal the concrete block idea I read on an earlier post here, and bond tile to that). Hope that description makes sense.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
On another note I put a great spearwort(Ranunculus Lingua AKA Tounge butercup) potted from supplier, quite a bit of which seems to have detached itself from the pot and is floating about on the surface roots and all, but seems to be shooting out vertical leaves and flowers from the floating horizontal stems and roots. -is this normal? or should I gather them up and try potting them in new pots? the pot sits on the bottom circa 600mm from top of water surface. Totally clueless on this! thanks in advance for any advice.
