   Great for the amateur and professional, 28 Dec 2010

   I am a countryside ranger and ecologist and although I already know a great deal about managing ponds, this is the first book I have found that is supremely useful. The book details methods of maintaining your pond so that wildlife can thrive in it. It also details how to set up a new pond, step by step. It has been useful to me as a professional who works frequently with ponds, but considering that the book is so easy to use and doesn’t swamp the reader with scientific jargon I imagine it would be very useful for the average-joe/jane in his/her back garden. Its also quite small so you don’t have masses of pages to read.

   If you want to attract more wildlife to your garden and your existing (or planned) pond then buy this book!

   a great introduction to ponds, 3 May 2010

   This review is from: Ponds: Creating and Maintaining a Wildlife Pond (Countryside) (Hardcover)

   I bought this book because we’d like to create a smallish wildlife pond in the garden. This book gives a lot of food for thought when it comes to choosing a site, plants etc. There is also a good section on the history of ponds in England, which helps to understand your pond in the wider context of the local surroundings. I can’t wait to start building the pond now! The book hasn’t got many illustrations and isn’t very detailed on the building aspects, so for those aspects you’ll probably need another guide.

   Easy guide at a glance book but could do with more about general garden ponds in it… But for the money worth it
