building small stream and pond

treecreeper

hi, this may seem daft but has anyone done this and are willing to help me out to do this too?
this would have to be a voluntary enterprise (:(:() but there you go...
maybe some vocational school or after school club might be interested in helping or the local churches?
i have it all half dug but thats as far as it has gone, i might have bitten off more than i could chew, and it nearly chewed the legs off me in the process!!! laughter will be the reward, plus plenty of tea coffee biscuits and chat along the watery way!

Well if you have the hole dug then all is well. With all the rain we are having at present it must be time for you to put the fish in and sit back and enjoy. The only problem I see is that your whole back garden could become a gigantic pond if this rain continues. :D:D:D
Take this post with a grain of salt

well, i am increasingly getting disabled due to a funny not so funny syndrome. i adore the outdoors, garden and nature.
with an electric wheelchair imminent i am hopeing to try get my new garden electric wheels friendly. I love planting and veggies and nature, already stated.
its a fair size so a fair job, too fair for a singleton like me, enthusiasm knows no bounds and all that but not great when the district nurse has to wrap them legs cos i am doing too much.
would it be a great project for any student horticulturalist, school or out of work garden keeners who would like to be involved for either cv, time or crack. i think it would be brill. the garden can then be used on cv's etc. i am full of bright ideas, and then the photographer who quipped at water logging holes (he is right though, very right) can take pics and no prob with all that at all at all at all, put the message out there folks. this won is heading into hospital next week but bringing the old laptop, i would be STARVED without that! xxall the best

Is this a public project, or are you looking for people to build it in your back garden?

treecreeper

well no its a project i want to see materialise rather than vapourise, but i am very idealistic.
i enjoy nature.
pm sent to further explain.
i think it would be fab but dont have the resources really to put together.
thought i had the energy but didnt think i didnt!!!!:(

treecreeper

still seeking help with doing garden and my pond. told by the medics the type of gardening i am doing is now OUT altogether, if i want to keep my body from breaking down or up whatever the way it is going!!!! here a further plan and anyone who can assist do get in touch. during a project like this i will take photos all along and type any cvs and add the images which i wil print off, i can do that quite expertly!
