Depth of a Fish Pond
March 28th, 2010The greatest depth of the pond, then, will be in the centre and will depend on the kind of lily required and on the surface area. If the lily is one that will cover an area ten feet in diameter it should be planted in three feet of water or more, if seven feet is to be covered plant in two feet, and for four feet plant in one foot of water. It must be remembered that, although oxygenating plants are growing, it is from the surface of the pond that most of the oxygen is obtained, therefore the depth should not be out of keeping with the surface area
