- Lighting in and around ponds creates a brand
new dimension and attraction to the garden. Normally for safety reasons
these are low voltage. Lights can be submerged or above the water surface to
create immediate impact and variation. You have submerged coloured lights
normally pointing up to the surface of the water. These could also be plain
white light of course. Other lights focus the light down onto the bottom of
the pond by creating a mushroom or umbrella effect. Still others float
around the surface encased in glass globes. A very unique and effective
garden light has been newly introduced into the UK and Europe. During the
day this device is a highly realistic looking rock. At night the whole rock
glows with diffused light creating a magic and enchanting effect. Japanese
lanterns also create magical effects.
- If you would like to test how much water
looks best for your waterfall do the following .....
i) Place a hosepipe into the waterfall inlet
ii) Adjust the flow until
you are happy with the effect
iii) Without closing the hose fill a known
volume container from the hose
iv) Calculate the flow rate by dividing
the volume of the container by the time taken
to fill it. This week's
free calculator could come in useful here.
v) This calculator would also
allow you to weigh the container as an alternative to
knowing its
volume. For water use the following:
1 US gallon weighs 8.83 lbs
1 Imperial gallon
weighs 10 lbs
1 litre weighs 2.2 lbs
vi) If one hose does not deliver sufficient water then use 2 hose pipes.
