Ponds form when water begins to fill in a depression in the ground. Early plants or pioneers start growing on the bottom of the pond. Eventually plants called emergents start to grow on the edge of the pond. As the plants decompose, layers of soil build up and the pond becomes shallower and shallower.Click to see full answer. Just so, what is a natural pond?The term natural pond can be defined on several levels. On a very basic level, a natural pond is one that exists in nature – one that is not man-made. That is certainly a very good description, but natural ponds can also be man-made, in which case they exist without the use of pumps, filters or chemicals.Likewise, can I build a pond without a liner? Yes a pond can hold water without a pond liner. Since shallow ponds of a couple feet experience less head pressure from the water, they may not require a dedicated liner. What they do require is dense silt soil that is well compacted. Thereof, what makes a pond? A pond is an area filled with water, either natural or artificial, that is smaller than a lake. It may arise naturally in floodplains as part of a river system, or be a somewhat isolated depression (such as a kettle, vernal pool, or prairie pothole).Should I put pebbles in my pond?Pebbles are not only a safe addition for a garden pond, they are downright helpful. In addition to serving as a natural-looking bottom layer, they help to keep the pond’s water clean and aid in providing a healthy habitat for fish.
