Pond Puncture Repair

 

Unlike the Titanic, the hole in my liner was able to be repaired. It was a muddy and wet exercise, digging down through the almost liquid mud at the side of the pond to reach the hole that had been created by some idiot (me!) spiking it with a garden fork. Needless to say that despite my carefully selecting likely products at the shops yesterday to repair the whole, these were not the right products for the job. Having located the hole, I messily squeezed silicon filler in and around it and backed this with tape that did not stick. Somehow, the silicon filler appears to be holding.

The pond is now full again and my goldfish, Wattle, looks less worried.
