why not put an advert in the local press for the topsoil... bag it up and sell it for £2.00 per bag... local enterprise is the key...

Nice one Jason, just keeping digging until next doors fence falls in, then you've probably gone deep enough - LOL

Hi Jason,
Just remember as you dig down it looks smaller so that when you start removing a bit more from the sides
It worked for me if you look at the pictures the new pond was going to be the size of the pergola and it grew a bit
