As there was a major problem with Norfolk Reed (Phragmites australis) we decided not to rebuild the pond with liner, choosing concrete and painted render instead. This guaranteed there would be no more damage from below by any remnants of the grass. Full 'How to' build a fish pond video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L63k5i...
