<p>Several inches of pure clay, or high clay content soil, is an old, pre-pondliner method that I have heard, from old-timers, works. I would use a 4-6" layer layed over a clean "bowl" of soil, and I would pack it down with shovels, hands, or if the pond is large, roller, bobcat, etc. Clay can be obtained by checking with sand & gravel yards, or as the case may be, digging around on your land or nearby. There may be very slow seepage, particularly at the beginning, but clay has very minimal drainage. Annual maintenance of cracks may need to take place, especially, if the pond is allowed to go dry, or if it freezes. Cracks may be able to be filled and pressed in even if the pond is full of water, since clay will hold together for the most part as you carefully work it into the bottom, underwater.<p>

A pond liner is critical for creating a stable, leak-proof base in any pond, whether it's ornamental, for fish like koi, or part of a larger landscaping project. It prevents water loss through seepage, keeps soil and contaminants out, and helps maintain water levels and quality. Without a pond liner, your pond may dry out quickly or require constant refilling, leading to higher water bills and ongoing maintenance challenges.

How do I calculate the size of the liner I require to re-line my irregular-shaped garden pond?
If you're looking to re-line your garden pond, it's important to accurately calculate the size of liner you'll need. This can be a bit tricky if your pond has an irregular shape, but there are a few steps you can take to make the process easier. First, measure the length and width of your pond at its widest points. Then, measure the depth of the pond at several points to get an average depth. Next, use these measurements to calculate the surface area of the pond (length x width) and the volume of water it holds (surface area x average depth). Finally, add a few extra feet to your liner measurements to ensure you have enough material to cover any irregularities or folds in the pond.
How can a pond be effectively sealed without using a liner?
A pond can be effectively sealed without using a liner by compacting the soil at the bottom of the pond to create a natural barrier that prevents water from seeping through. This process, known as "puddling," involves mixing clay-rich soil with water and then compacting it to form a dense, impermeable layer. Over time, the soil will settle and harden, creating a seal that helps retain water in the pond.
Are flexible or preformed pond liners better?
