The reformed ponds are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and come at a cost which is a wee fraction of what the concrete ponds would cost you. With the availability of the pond liner and the various kinds of pond supply materials, even the novice gardener can have his own pond setup in a matter of a day and have it stocked with plants, fish and a pond pump, pond filter or pond light the next.

The simplest pond is the preformed pond used above the ground. You may keep a box without a bottom on flat ground putting a cushion material at the bottom. Place the pond liner around the bottom and spread it all along the surface; then fill it with water. If there is excess liner, you can trim it off. The other kind is the in-ground pond. The majority of people opt for this as the flexible pond liner lets you build a pond of any shape or size. You might use a plastic hose to mark the shape of the pond on the ground and then you can start digging. Next the pond liner may be placed within and then secured with the help of bricks or stones. Make sure that the liner is well protected from sunlight.

Among the pond supply materials, pond filters are an essential item to maintain a clean pond which is free from impurities and safe for your fish. The pond filtration system should work continuously if your fish are to survive. If you have plenty of fish which you would rather not lose, it would be wise to even stock up on a spare filter to make sure that your fish are always assured of a safe and clean environment.

Of all the pond supply equipment, the pond liner has become quite popular and more and more people have started having their own pond in the garden. The flexible rubber pond liners last as long as their preformed fiberglass pond liners which cost double. The rubber pond liners might be preferred to the PVC pond liners as they are more long-lasting and flexible; the PVC ones get hard in cold weather as also when exposed to sun.

Some BBQ questions answered:

1. What is the difference between direct and indirect cooking?
Direct cooking on a BBQ is when the food is cooked directly onto the grill or griddle of your Barbecue.
Indirect cooking is achieved when the lid of your BBQ is closed. This takes the heat off the food and by using only the burners at the sides to heat up the inside area – your BBQ now becomes similar to cooking in an indoor oven.

2. What is the best method to clean a Gas Barbecue?
For best results leave all the burners of your Barbecue on high, for five to ten minutes. Then turn off and allow to cool, then simply wipe over with a damp cloth, later coating it with cooking oil. It is always a good idea to use a Barbecue mitt when cleaning to avoid burning yourself. Another tried and tested way is to use a brass bristle wire Barbecue brush.

3. How do I store my Barbecue over the winter months?
The best way to store and protect your BBQ over the winter months is with a cover to protect it from the cold and wet, it will also help to prevent mould and mildew. If you decide to store your Barbecue in a garage or shed, bottles of gas for your Gas Barbecue must be stored outside and you should never move your BBQ with the gas bottle either attached or still on.

4. How do I start a charcoal BBQ?
Either place your coal on top of two or three fire lighters and then simply light it. Or pour ½ a cup of lighting fluid over a layer of charcoal allow to soak for approximately 1 minute and light using a long taper.
When the flames have died down and ash has appeared the coals will turn white then it is time to place your food on the grill.

A few points to think about when purchasing your BBQ are:
o How much room is there for a Barbecue?
o How many people normally eat with you when you Barbecue?
o Do you want a gas or charcoal?
Glossop Garden Centre have a wide selection of accessories to complement your Barbecue which include instant lighting charcoal, fire lighters, skewers and BP light weight bottled gas suitable for your Gas Barbecue.
