Tums do you mean that the vegetation will draw the water on the soil when it rains or the vegetation will draw the water that's in the pond all the time? I mean are you worrying about that the vegetation will block watershed or the vegetation will steal the pond water directly? I hope i am clear.
Do you also mean trees by "vegetation"? Because i want trees everywhere.
Vegatation (including trees) pull moisture from the ground. If the pond is not 100% leak proof moisture will transfer from the water in the pond into the ground. Any vegetation at the waters edge will draw almost directly from the pond. Also the vegetation will prevent watershed from ever reaching the pond. In the end all vegetation around the pond means is you will need more water supply for both the pond and the vegetation.
Tums, that's a horrible news
. I guess i need to use liner to make my pond water proof. Do you people use liner for that big of a pond or just clay? I think clay won't be enough to keep water from plants. I guess i should choose some trees that can live in droughty places.
