I'd love to have a stream accessible!
My geese are free to roam, so make a mess absolutely everywhere! I have to empty the water containers / pools daily.
I was hoping for a less maintenance option by putting a pond in.
I could go larger than my original 6ft x 6ft, but not by a massive amount. As far as depth goes I can go up to 8ft down, to increase the amount of water in there.
It would be in a semi-shade area, and I'd plant around it, probably just with sedge, as the geese seem to love that.
I'd be using a digger, and if it's deemed a fail, I can fill it back in.
So, if I went 6ft long, 10ft wide, with a shallow shelf at the end they'd get easier access to, and sloped down to 8ft deep. Very roughly guesstimating the maths, that would be around 6500ltrs of water.
That a reasonable amount of water for a dozen geese? (I say a dozen, it's actually 9, but I'm sure I'll gain a couple more soon!)
