Unbelievable work! I cannot believe you did that all by hand!

KZread is home to some amazing people. Nice work, Sir.

Happy future with a big Smile from Australia.

A long time ago I had a business building natural swimming pools. What I learned is that you need a skimmer in every natural pool. The reason for this is mosquitoes, the skimmer pulls all the mosquito larvae into it. This is how we get a natural pool without mosquitoes. The size of the pump must be such that it turns over the entire amount of water in one day. It will probably be unpleasant when you sit in front of the pond in the evening and get bitten by mosquitoes, this is a solution for mosquitoes. I hope you are not angry that I am writing you this comment, very good video.

Hi there, thank you for your comment! The mosquitoes are a real concern with natural ponds, however the bubble pumps create ongoing waves in the pond throughout the warm months of the year and mosquitoes don`t like that. Until now I haven`t seen mosquitoe larvea in the pond! But thanks a lot for the suggestion, I very appreciate that!

​@@manuelangerer-permaculture You can always add a few small fish, which will eat any mosquito larvae.

You embody the old saying: "Where there's a will, there's a way". Great work, congrats!!

I was about to say, where there is a pool there's a fool, but this looks really great, an example to follow!

Heck yeah, dude. Hard work, but it's yours and it's rad.

You did this by hand? Wow. You are an inspiration, and a reminder that a little work, over and over, will yield a big result. Thank you for posting this

@@safffff1000 That is why I would use a garden sprinkler, or maybe just a shower pistol, to get the right soak. And instead of an excavator (which could be rented for a day, fairly inexpensively) I once used a gas powered tiller to dig a pond, to loosen the soil before digging. A bit of hard work operating it, but it did the job.

WOW! I can't believe you did all this by hand. Amazing.

What a hardworking and patient young man ❤

It always freaks me out when i am outside, without my phone, having a conversation with someone, then the next day there are videos on my feed about my conversation.

WOW. What an amazing job and inspiration! Thank you for sharing all your hard work and the results!

I started a job like this two years ago. Even with my own mini excavator I realised it was too much work for me. You've inspired me to think again. I wonder what you could do if you had machinery, you'd be unstoppable 😁

Machinery is overrated. Just work on it everyday for 20 minutes . It's about not missing any days and being habitual. There was a guy 20 years ago that ate a whole train car that had been processed into powder. Just a couple spoonfuls a day add up over time.

You rock. I’m doing it. Starting with a smaller pond/fountain and garden in the center and horseshoe shaped orchard adjacent. Then a swimming pond will start. Thanks for the Inspiration and showing it can be done by hand. Also noting the air pumps vs water pumps.

This looks like paradise! I hope we get another look once it's all grown in. Thank you so much for sharing!

I can’t wait for the next years for updates of this pond and how it’s doing!! ❤

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing the process!

Excited to see the plants grow in! Great work!

Good work, buddy … inspiring to see it all done by hand! I hope you and your family get many hours of enjoyment from it.

This looks great! Your hard work really paid off. Thank You for sharing this video

Thankyou. Beautiful. Showing what you did and changed later is most helpful

You are an inspiration, sir! Thanks for showing us your process.

Bravo! What an incredible amount of work.

Exhausting work! You don’t mind an enormous project all on your own !

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this... in such a gracious, kind way. 😊

Amazing work! I can't believe you did this all by yourself!

So much hard work, yet such a wonderful result! Bravo!

So beautiful!! Inspiring, thank you for share!

Amazing! Good job! The dedication and results are mind blowing! Enjoy your swimming pond!

It is absolutely gorgeous! I really felt for you when the rain came. But the end result was well worth the hard work! Magnificent!

What an amazing job. All credit to you. And with only hand tools I hope you and your family get to enjoy it for many years to come.

that was really interesting. I like how just air bubbles doing their job, kept the water gin clear!

wow Manuel, was für ein wunderschönes Projekt und so inspirierend zu sehen was ein Mann alleine alles schaffen kann! So schön euch 3 am Ende zusammen im neuen Herzen eurer Oase zu sehen!!! Ach ich kann kaum in Worte fassen wie sehr ich mich mit euch freue!!! Alles Liebe zu euch!

Hallo Guten morgen

Absolutely incredible we’ll done

I feel your struggle. I install pond lining for people all over Montana, that ground water can be a big problem. You have done a wonderful job.

Awesome! Thank you so much for the tips!

Gorgeous!

Well done. Thanks for sharing your process.

I would very much be interested in watching more harvesting, planting, any gardening, cooking and recipes. I'm really hoping you'll add more content. 😊

Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

Well done! Your physical labor reminds me of a huge retaining wall I built a long time ago when I was a teenager out of railroad ties and 24” spikes and a 9kilo sledge hammer.

Your a machine! All that digging with a single shovel. Amazing job!

Impressive !!! Such a nice job, the deck is beautiful

That is beautiful and so inspiring!!

Hammer! Sackstarke Leistung Manu!

This video is excellent ❤ I'm saving it for when I'm ready to do the same. Sending love from Bulgaria.

One rock at a time, One shovel full at a time. It is all worth it. Looks amazing. I am still working on mine.

Absolutely Beautiful!

You are an example to others ,I respect your courage ,May god look after you and your family .

An excellent presentation on how to construct a fantastic pond. Really well done😊

You’ve given me hope that we can actually build a bigger pond for our wildlife, our dogs AND us! Thank you from all of us on our new homestead😅

Wonderful/beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Wow great job! You sure did deserve that swim! Bet that was a wonderful feeling 🙂

Thanks! I'll do an update on the pond next summer!

awesome work man I did the same kind of pool 7 years ago with same design and bubblers. best decision ever did the mistake with retaining wall built with bags and sand/concrete mix, it crumbles a bit some places, your wood wall is a better solution also never been really able to get rid of deposit on bottom of pool the water is cristal clear but always deposit building on bottom and gravel area. overall best thing to do on a property I think, so cheap also compared to classic pools and the wildlife is insane, we even have water snakes

So Nice that you did it yourself which i will be doing too

stunning work !!!!!!!!!!

What an amazing build. So much work and so well rewarded. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
