Installing a pond on your allotment is relatively easy, looks good, encourages wildlife and can be completed within a day.
I used a preformed 140-litre plastic pond liner for my allotment.
Find a shelterd spot away from heavily used paths and in a sunny position
Place gravel and stones in the bottom of the pond.
Add water plants to help oxygenate the water and provide shade. Placing a waterlily in the pond will help keep the water clear.
Always make sure that smaller animals who may fall into the pond have an escape route. Provide stepping stones, a beach area, branches or small ramp.
