10. Maintaining a puddled clay pond

Copyright (c) Alec Scaresbrook. Cracked clay means a leaking pond

We can't emphasise enough how important it is to keep the water levels topped up - the photo shows the problems caused by evaporation. As the water level drops, the clay dries out and cracks, so when you do top up the levels, the water just leaks away.


Investigate any sudden water drop and puddle more clay into the leaking area as soon as you can. Otherwise the problem will just get worse, making it more difficult and time-consuming to repair.
