Once you have decided
on the location and shape of your pond, get digging! The soil
excavated from the pond area can be used to form an embankment
nearby - see
Enhancing your pond.
A pond should ideally have a section at least 60cm deep to
protect certain animals (like frogs) from weather extremes,
particularly in winter.
Shallow, shelved areas are good for basking invertebrates and
tadpoles, and can be the most diverse and abundant area of a
pond.
