Work Begins
As you can see I have started to dig another mudpond, this pond will be bigger than some of the others, so I decided
to hire a bigger digger to dig this one.
Topsoil Removed
The topsoil has been removed and we can now start marking out the mudpond.
Marking Out
The pond has now been marked out, so we can now start digging the mudpond.
Digging Starts
As you can see we have started digging out the mudpond, the bigger machine makes it a lot quicker and easier, so this
one will not take very long to dig.
Getting Bigger
The pond is nearly finished, just need to finish digging out the last side.
Nearly Finished
As you can see the pond in now finished, just need to finish off the banks, then we can start filling it up.
All Finished
The pond is now all finished and I have started to fill it up.
My Little Bit Of Japan
The pond is now full and looking good and is my little bit of Japan.
Fry
The koi in the outside mudpond have flocked spawned a couple
of times and I thought there was little chance of any of the fry serving, but I managed to spot these four swimming around
the pond. So it seems when I next net the pond I might get more koi out than I started with.
