I built a pond in the back garden before ponds were ever popular. At that time they did not have "pond liners" so I improvised and used the roofing stuff they put on before the tar on flat roofs. It worked well. I got out a hose and layed out the shape of my pond and started digging. The earth I removed I used to build a waterfall etc. I had flagstone around the edges and a nice park bench. I also had a dwarf Japenese Maple that was half green, half red (grafted) hanging over the waterfall.
I had water lilies and severa other plant species. I kept Japense Koi in the pond all year long and as soon as you walked up to the pond the Koi would come up to the top in anticipatation of food. If you wiggled your fingers in the pond a few of them would come up to be pet. The Koi would breed in the pond so it was always fun seeing what the offspring would look like.
We moved and I must admit that I really miss the pond.
