| I have decided to change my formal pond into a semi formal pond, by taking up a path between the pond and the rock garden, and replacing it with turf instead, i want the turf to run right into the pond,can you see any problems this may cause. derek. |

How wide will the strip be?
I can see potential problems mowing the grass- either pysical problems in not wanting to tip the mower in the water, or danger to baby frogs etc.
How about a few stepping stones instead, and instead of grass having a carpet of low growing plants spilling down from the rockery? |

| Be careful if buying turf as it will have fertilizer on it and will be loaded with nitrates giving you huge future problems with blanket weed. |
