Build a Pond for Food & Fun: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-19 Review
For the money it was worth it as a first book, however I'd have to disagree with some of the statements, and the lack of detail here make it hard to design a pond using the information.
I'd skip the idea of using bentonite altogether, particularly in climates which have large temperature swings, and on sloped land, or less stable land of any type - I think its just plain wrong for these conditions. Besides that its not cheap. The authors should have pointed out the pros and cons here. Very bad idea to use it on embankments as a sealer. Also there's not much detail on pond design itself, or how to scout an area for building one.
No information on flow rates, oxygenation, planting strategies, and the information on forming embankments is a little misleading, asking an 'expert'
won't save you money in many cases or lead to better pond design.
A little information on pond orientation, none on pond geometry. Not much info on management, a little on stocking, nothing at all really on how to get a pond to support itself. A few useful reminders on designing drainage and overflow, and maintenance. I think they left out the idea that you need to drain embankments themselves to stabilize it (particularly if its clay) - and how to do that.
If you don't know where to start its reasonable, however I'd do a lot more studying before employing the suggestions.Build a Pond for Food & Fun: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-19 OverviewSince 1973, Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletins have offered practical, hands-on instructions designed to help readers master dozens of country living skills quickly and easily.
