The amount of work you are putting in to create this pond is incredible and I really appreciate you sharing it with us in these videos. As I live in Japan, it is very nice to see all of the species you have in Canada. Again, thank you for posting this project, I can not wait to see what will come to use the new pond.

A great video. I envy you the space that has allowed you to develop such a great pond facility. I am a great advocate of ponds in the garden to help amphibians, birds and insects, regardless of the space and scale. Even without a hide this has given me numerous photo opportunities as you might see if you take a look at the latest video in my own channel. Certainly you have given me some further ideas - on a smaller scale!!

There should be many more people like you emphasising how important nature is. The way you convey important knowledge regarding nature and environment is awesome.

The mason bees lay the female eggs in the back of the hole, males in front.. drill the holes 6 inches deep and you should get plenty of bees. Woodpeckers will dig deep in your rotten wood tho so you might replace it with a dried but not rotten piece. I buy old metal tool boxes, cut chunks of 6x6 to fit and fill them full of holes. In the winter I close the lid of the toolbox which is mounted vertical on a post or building. I subbed when you put the post up, I love ponds and wildlife, watching your videos will be a treat.
@tommo5050 Рік тому
Great video. I started watching it and was inspired to go out back and cut down a lot of the tall weeds around my small retention pond. I live in Florida just north of Tampa and we are heading into the rainy season so I wanted to trim it back before we got too much rain. We get a lot of typical FL waterfowl as well as other wildlife including gators. I came back in after trimming and finished watching. Thanks for the videos and the inspiration. Best of luck and I look forward to the next one. Tom

@rickharding7336 2 роки тому
Great ideas. We have constructed our own photoblind and pond on a much smaller scale. Amazing number of birds, mammals and reptiles came to be photographed. We are designing a new setup and your videos have given us many ideas and food for thought. We have a problem you don’t however. Where we are setting up is on a cattle ranch so we have to plan for cows and the chaos they can bring. Thanks for these videos. You are contributing a great deal to wildlife photography.
@StefanoIaniro 2 роки тому
Oh, interesting! It will be neat to see how cattle will alter the pond and surrounding vegetation.
@rickharding7336 2 роки тому
@@StefanoIaniro Well, the property owner has an earth moving company and is going to build us a big mound of dirt about 4 feet high and 30’ x 50’ and level the top. We will dig in the sunken photoblind and put the pond in front of it. We have planned for the lighting in the mound layout. We will put a fence around the mound that can’t be seen in the photos but hopefully will keep out the cows. We will probably put a hole in the fence down low and a ramp so the small animals can get in. This mound is in the water flood plane and the mound should allow us to still be dry in the event of a hurricane passage. Just another thing to think about. I’m glad we have so much cooperation from the landowner. He is interested in maintaining the blind for years to come when we are through with it. A place for grandkids and friends to see what’s out there. Thanks for your ideas.

I was just looking the last couple days for an update, so happy you shared! It it obvious you have really thought this out, I was quite impressed with your plant selection and your economical use of cuttings, so many people do not understand how prolific and easy the willows are to propagate. I believe all your hard work will be worth it, your friends will be lining up to use your site! Thank you for sharing it all and I look forward to your future efforts.
@StefanoIaniro 2 роки тому
Thanks! Yeah, it's incredible how well willows grow. I realized it last year when 100% of my willow cuttings took around the old pond.

I saw you planted High Bush Cranberries! I love the way they smell in the fall! I have a couple acres here in Alaska and have propagated the hell out of the native plants especially the high bush cranberry. I need to grow enough for me and the birds because high bush cranberry catsup over a spicy meatloaf. (Happiness on a plate!) Just search, UAF high bush cranberry catsup. It should take you to university of Fairbanks, co-operative exchange. It has a lot of good resources for tundra climates. Iris' are the most wide spread flower on my property. They produces a massive amount of seeds. In the spring, I'm always finding stores of them in my greenhouse and sheds. They were and are wild on this property. I toss the seeds out to grow. I'm sure they have other caches but I still make sure the feeder is full.
