Can anyone suggest what depth my pebble-pond should be? I have no intention of fish keeping- but if wildlife chooses to populate it then that's fine. Although the main purpose is simply a garden feature.

I already have a fountain installed - do I also require a filter?
NB: I am using a flexible liner- but it isn't too late to get underneath this to remove sand/lime chips....

Pardon my answer, but if it`s just a `feature` and not a pond what depth does it matter? and why have a filter? Sorry, but your post doesn`t make sense. Perhaps it`s me.

Being a novice with garden ponds - I thought it logical to keep the water clean & clear that a filter may be required. I do know that if it's not oxygenated then it would end up a green muddy mess. I plan at some stage to introduce some aquatic plants so if there are any pitfalls there I would appreciate experienced advice.
Look for a book by Charlie Dimmock whom used to be on Gardeners World, you`ll find plenty of ideas in that. Your local library should have several.
Depends on the plants you intend to grow. I have pink lotus in my 2ft deep pond. There are also sticklebacks and lizard-? There's no filter and the water is dirty black looking but the plants & wildlife thrive.
