I want to do this in my back yard. Did you dig it yourself? Did you use a liner or compaction method ? What plants did you use to aerate? What would you have done differently if you could have?

Yeah I dug it myself with just a pickaxe and shovel. Never again hahaha. Next time ill hire a small digger lol.

I used an EPDM liner.

Too much plants to cover tbh and I dont know all the English names for them. Just use a lot of plants, you cannot use too much.

If I had to do it again Id hire a digger machine and make it bigger. Perhaps use a stronger edge to prevent the edges from sagging inside? Although they have since overgrown and you cant see it anyway:)
