This is our small pocket garden pond. Levi dug it out last summer in an area that had some surface water accumulation in early spring and after it rains. It is now about 6 feet by 3 feet. He put some moss from the forest on the side of the pond last year and it took hold. I thought that it would of just fallen into the water, so this surprised me that the moss is still holding. Levi placed a couple of large stones as steps so we can easily have access to the water.
We use the water to irrigate our newly planted plants when we go through dry spells. It has filled up after each rain event so we have been fortunate, but now we see that the water table is dropping and the pond is having a harder time to keep sufficient water level. We have two frogs living in the pond and it is a resource for the birds, wild animals and insects. We have to use the water sparingly.
When the pond dries up we will enlarge it and dig it deeper.

Not having a well on our property and only a small pocket garden pond, I decided to create a couple of small dams in the ditch dividing our property with the neighbour's. Then I dug out a basins behind the dams so that more water would collect in the ditch and I could harvest this water with a pail. I am researching ways to pump the water either manually or with a 12v pump. Unfortunately the pumps that interest me are much more expensive in Canada than the US.

We bought a 12V pump years ago to pump water from our seasonal creek and we never ended up using it, it was just never convenient to set it up and the water isn't available during the time of year we really need it.
