Brother your pond looks so natural it looks like you are in a vacation all the time

So glad I have found your page. Really giving me the confidence to go full DIY with this thing. Thanks

Such a natural feel. Most I see online flow too hard and noisy. Thank you for your in- and output. Going for pragmatic solutions, following the laws of physics instead of following the commercial guidelines. I like that very much. All the best from the Netherlands.

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

Great video, especially the flow rate advice. I also used the cheap generic foam for my waterfall and it's working well. I plan to add a stream next spring, so I've bookmarked this vid for reference. Cheers from Bulgaria.

I can tell you the standard expanda-foam will be safe for the fish, I've used it in aquarium backgrounds for years and haven't had a problem 👍🏼. Ponds looking great Kev

Loving the updates keep them coming 👌🤘

Just incredible Kev I got pond envy its going to be amazing when it’s finished 👍

Your my favorite pond person on youtube

As always, very helpful information!

Thank you from Washington state! It’s dead of winter. My first pond is frozen over. I am very excited to build a bog filter once the permafrost is gone. Love your videos

Looking great. Not digging is a nice change.

Looking great, I used the regular foam also when I was building my pond this summer in all the areas that were not highly visible, and used the pond foam for the waterfalls and highly visible areas. I could by 5 (bigger) cans of the regular foam for the price of 1 can of pond foam. Worked out great for me. The new intro video is awesome btw :).

Looking gorgeous, Kev. I don't know for sure, but I think the only difference between the normal foam and the pond foam is the black color which probably gives it some better UV protection. But if you cover it w/ gravel, that should do just as well.

great tip (stream side dirt fill-in), thanks. man, it's gonna take a while for that dye to go away, lol! inspired by you, i recently built a small bog filter pond that's (basically) a 5 gallon buck of lava rock w/ bacopa atop and creeping down the sides (eventually soon you won't even see the bucket).

This pond build is looking awesome, I’m far to into bog filter these days 😂

Good Afternoon Mate, Thanks fer sharin yer information me friend, I did a 1 day build a little over a year ago, small creek about 5 meters in length, in front of our home in Oregon USA. Now goin REAL BIG, by building a MINE, where the new streem will flow from above, and ponding about the entrance ta the mine, which we can plant any assortment of minerals for people to seek out & find. The streem will branch off into two separate creeks that will flow over several acres into a 30x10 meter pond! The drop is natural & about a 1.5 meter drop. I'm by no means have a clue about what I'm doing & have learned from mates such as yerself that share their knowledge with others like meself! I was thinking about a series of small ponds that appear to be a part of the stream/streams beside them, however are merely an illusion setting up a series of smaller reservoirs, allowing me ta pump H2⁰ up the grade. Wondering what ya may think of the concept, or might ya believe that I should forgo the idea, & seek a much larger single pump system? Appreciate any information & input that you or yer amazing viewers may have! We are a Rescue Ranch that pairs our Rescue Horses & Animals with Veterans & peoples with disabilities & on a very, very, tight budget, & at 63 doing virtually EVERYTHING on me own on a tiny budget! Thanks for any input & no worries if yer too busy ta reply me friend... I completely understand that meself!...lol Peace be wit ya & thanks again fer yer inspiring video, liked & SUBSCRIBED & looking forward ta seeing more of your projects! Ricky - SunStone Rescue Ranch Oregon us🙏👈😉👍

Just love it! You need a go pro on your head so your fans can watch it all!😂😂

Looks amazing Kev. I'm looking at doing a small stream in my backyard, approx 3m. But don't have the space for much of a pond (probably around 100-200L of volume max)... anything I need to keep in mind and consider to avoid having a pond that empties quicker than the stream can feed it with water?

Hi Kev. I am so amazed with your ponds. I am from the Philippines and just started our farm on a mountain top and we have dug ponds to hold in rain water for our use in the farm. It's a slopy area. Do we start fixing the pond from the higher area first? Since we had a mini backhoe come in, we took advantage and had them dig up a few ponds and increase the small creek already in the farm as water runoff during rainy season. Hope you can advice us. I can show you the diggings my son has done. God bless you!

Thank you for your video, where do u get all this liners? Could u leave some more details what liners u used and where to get them, thank you so much, much appreciated

Hi Kev- Always gaining more knowledge from your informative videos. Question: For a High Flow Barrel Filter - How effective could it be on a 1K Gallon pond with goldfish used not with a stream and intake bay - but use it as a waterfall into the pond with the pump at the bottom of the pond? Updating a pond the former owner installed and there is no room to add an intake bay and or stream. Thank you for your insight.

The normal yellow foam deteriorates in sunlight. I would love to see some additional video of the filter setup and how the pump is used to bring water in. That part was not clear to me.

i might add 30+ golden white clouds to my goldfish pond, but what if they will all get eaten? or i could build a "fish crib" (image search that) where minnows can hide to be safe goldfish? i'd be interested to learn more about your experience and opinions on any kind of pond minnows (white clouds are my favorite).

Any update on the foam o fill usage? Love your channel Mate!!!

Thanks Kev! Have dug the pond... its medium size using a 9m a 4.25m epdm liner. I used bunnings weed mat as underlay, then 2 x pvc pond liners that I had spare and then the epdm liner. I hope that's enough.... what are your thoughts? Its not to late to pull it up. Also I noticed u used an overlay. Your the only person I have seen do this. Basically I am out of money. Is it essential? Any cheap alternatives as an overlay?

Hi Kev, I love your channel. I'm in Brisbane and I've always wanted a pond now that I've found your account I've started digging one out. It's only going to be about 1,500 litres and I want to have a little waterfall and stream coming into it. Can I just use a waterfall filter like you did for this or should I be using a bog filter?

I've never done anything like this, but want to try it. I have a big farm pond on my land and would like to pump water from my pond to create a stream that flows back to the pond. Would you mind to share where and what kind of liner you bought and pipe and pump?

How did the normal expanding foam go? Any problems with toxicity or anything?

Hi Kev - another great video! Quick question about waterfalls. I’m building the bog pond slightly raised above the main pond and want a waterfall to get a nice sound effect. I don’t want to raise the level of the bog pond much higher as I don’t want to create a volcano effect. What in your experience is the minimum waterfall height to get a reasonable sound? Would a 15cm drop from bog to pond be enough? Many thanks! Sheila

How is the yellow foam doing two years later? I've heard that it degrades faster than pond foam, but I'm not sure if that was just someone trying to sell the pond foam.

Awesome, how do you plug in your pump outside?

did u find any effects on fish from using normal expanding foam?

It looks beautiful. But I hate the foam! It's bad for the enviroment. Do you know an enviromental friendly alternative for the foam?

I wanna do this but here in the philippines we have an overpopulation of frogs. I notice your ponds dont have frogs at all

Hello, I am at tail end of med size pond with a sm waterfall at one end. From the waterfall and it falls into a small pool about a foot deep, 3 feet wide and then before it, there is a shallower area before reaching the deeper pool. How can I make more of a stream feeling and trickle effect mid stream. I wanted more of a stream in the middle before getting to the deeper pool, but I think I dug it out too deep.

Kev would a stream like this attract mozzies? Or is there enough movement?

what is this generic yellow foam you speak about? you mean from Bunnings? what is it called please?

So the waterfall foam is a bit of a scam? They charge so much more for it.

oh mate that Soria is not sharp is it?

No additions or corrections. I'm just feeding the algorithm monsters before tapping the thumbs up 👍 button.

You have the best ponds! I do have one suggestion- get rid of the new fancy intro sequence and go back to your simpler one. Part of what impressed me is that simplicity. Thanks though. I really enjoy your videos and presentation.

So you support gravel on pond bottoms. Apparently that is controversial.

Told you you should be selling your services.
