Preamble
Building a Water Garden at Domaine Le Jardin des Patriotes
In summer 2004, I got the idea to dig a small garden pond located to east of the country house.

The water garden is on a plateau, just before a small slope.

One dimension ends 30' X 19', the pond has a maximum 28" depth
(2' 4" ).

With no mechanical equipment, I began to dig with a round shovel. The shovels were emptied into a wheelbarrow. With this ground, I leveled part of landscape. Here, in this picture, for a simulation, I built a small temporary pond bridge.
