yeh loz it was.. ijust saw how imposible it was..hehe, anyways...i seriuosly need serious help..i bought a bag of cement... no wut exactly do i do with it am real confused

You'll probably need a good bit of cement I would imagine....

Have you thought about what you would do if a crack forms in the cement and it leaks out water?

id put more cement in lol.....hehehe

I think that cement would be more costly than just using pond plastic or rubber.

And if you get a crack in it then you'll have to bail all the water out and let it dry then fix it...

I hope it doesn't leak for you though.

I can't wait to see it all finished.

Very good idea! Looking good so far. Cannot wait to see the finished ponds.

HELLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

and aalso i forogt to ask...would i find PVC pond liner in Carrefour.coz its the nearest big mart there is in my city??

There should be directions on the bag of cement but if there isnt, get you a wheelbarrow or a tub of some sort and pour the dry cement into it. Get a shovel and a trowel and a hose for water. Start off with just a little bit of water and start mixing it with the dry cement. For forming to the sides of your pond you want it of a consistancy of paste. Be careful because once you add too much water there is no going back so add water a little at a time until you reach the right consistancy. You must not waste any time during this mixing process as the cement actually starts to set the minute you add water. It may take a time or two before you get it just right. Practice with just a bucket full the first time to get an idea of how wet it needs to be to spread but not so wet that it sags down the sides of your pond. Good Luck! Lemme know how it goes.

thnx!!!!...i thought i had to add water and sand, and some waterproofing micxture but now i know..hehe...ill think i might do this tomorrow, BEFORE i get change my mind to buy some liner ...you sure that the mixture u made is waterproof?????
