What to do

1. Start by digging a hole in the ground the same size as the tire. Be sure to test frequently to ensure the tire fits perfectly in the hole, and then lay it in place.

2. Using the saw, cut the top of the tire so that it becomes a thin edge, as seen below:

3. Now cover the tire in the dust sheet. Push down all parts thoroughly and make sure it’s covering the entire tire without leaving any open spaces or gaps.

4. Take the sand and pile it on the inside of the tire to fix it in place. Shovel gravel on top of the sand and press it down with the back of the spade so that the two stick together.

5. Now for the fun part: Decoration! Here you can get creative with stones of different shapes and sizes to give it your own personal touch. Once done, you can embellish the pond with greenery, plants and flowers by planting them in soil around the tire’s edge.

6. Last but not least, take a water hose and fill the hole with water. Your beautiful garden pond is now ready!

The best part is you can make your pond truly unique to you.

You can pick between different rocks, plants and flowers. You can utilize small ornaments or statues, take advantage of lighting fixtures or lamps. You can even put small fish in the water and create your own thriving ecosystem.

*On a side note, you will have to replace the water from time to time, so keep an eye out for when it gets too dirty.
