We got a duck-pond, where do I claim the expenses?

[difflock]

Only brought the digger in to level some hardcore.

Then to find him sommat useful to do while waiting for the lorry to return.

Got him to "fall till" a patch of Rushs that has been annoying me this wheen o years.

Voila a cracking:biggrin: duck-pond.

Just need some rain-fall:001_tt2: to get it filt.

Bring on the April showers.

Looking forward to the pics. You need an island to claim expenses

 

Want to dig a pond myself, got plenty of water

Job seeker allowance but I am told disability is better because you have not got to bother your ass out of bed.

you need HLS ELS countryside stewardship scheme they will pay you grants to look after it. or plant a few trees around and get a woodland grant from the Fc:biggrin:

I'm getting to do this for a new client soon. Can't wait.

 

There's an old small pond there already with frogspawn and frogs protecting it. Client wants a bigger pond dug now when the digger to do the drive comes.

 

So, post some pics please. Would be keen to see how you did it.

Farmers can enter into management schemes and get paid to manage areas on their farm for wildlife. Sometimes it costs more to manage then you get paid, other times it's a nice wee earner.
