Build Your Own Wildlife Pond To Attract Insects

Wildlife ponds have become more popular as we become environmentally aware and want to encourage wildlife in the garden.

These natural ponds are not only truly beautiful and educational for children, but you will also be helping the ecosystem of your whole garden. Did you know having a wildlife pond encourages frogs and toads, which eat slugs? More birds and wildlife will also visit you, some you may not have seen before.

Shallow ponds are great for wildlife – Unless you are keeping fish, the deepest areas need to be no more than 25-30 cm (1 foot) deep. This keeps all of the pond well oxygenated and well lit. It also means you can see to the bottom, helping you to enjoy your pond more.

Step 1 - Select your PVC liner and underlay

You will receive a top quality 0.5mm PVC Oase Alfafol liner with a 15 year warranty plus a 200 gsm underlay to suit.

Generally, it’s a good idea to add some shape to your pond edges - don’t go for straight sides, instead, add some curves. This will help add to the number of microhabitats found in your pond and makes it more attractive to wildlife. Many people go for the kidney-shaped pond style. Use a rope or hose to mark the pond edges before you start digging. Don’t forget to add a sloping aspect to at least one end of the pond - this will ensure wildlife can get in and out.

Step 2 - Select your plants

Plants are very important for a wildlife pond. As well as making your pond look beautiful, they also provide homes for your aquatic creatures.

Step 3 - Select any additional extra's

Our accessory set includes: water conditioner, blanketweed treatment, plant food, pond net with ridged handle, and a guide to pond wildlife book

The optional solar air pump helps beneficial bacteria function more efficiently, and also attracts wildlife to the water

Will you credit score me and if so, what does this mean?

Credit scoring is the process used by financial services companies to evaluate the credit risk of new applicants. This technique will be applied to your application for online finance. Credit scoring works by awarding points for each answer given on the application form such as age, income and occupation, together with information obtained from credit reference agencies.

This information allows consistent decisions to be provided, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly. Credit scoring does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, race, religion or disability.

If you decline my application, what is the reason?

In addition to credit scoring, Novuna also takes into account confirmation of your identity, validation of certain application details, existing commitments and information held at the credit reference agencies. Though Novuna is unable to provide you with a main reason for declining your application, it is usually based on one, or a combination of the following:

Your credit score (please note that every finance company will score you differently)
Adverse credit reference agency information
You are considered to be overcommitted
You are aged under 18
Your existing account performance with other lenders

What type of information do credit reference agencies hold about me?

Some of the information is public information, for example electoral roll, County Court Judgments and bankruptcies. Other lenders may also file information about accounts you hold with them for instance this could include your payment history and outstanding balance on these accounts. Any requests for credit, where a credit reference search has been undertaken, will also be filed, although the result of the request is not recorded.

How do I obtain a copy of this information?

Send a request to the relevant credit reference agency, together with details of all addresses at which you have lived over the last 6 years:

Experian Limited, Customer Support Centre, PO Box 9000, Nottingham, NG80 7WF
Equifax Ltd., Customer Service Centre, PO Box 10036, Leicester, LE3 4FS
TransUnion International UK Limited, Consumer Services, PO Box 491, Leeds, LS3 1WZ

The above listed agencies will provide details of information relating to these addresses. If you believe that the information is incorrect, you can ask the agency to correct it.

If my application is not successful, can I re-apply?

Yes. We acknowledge that circumstances change and just because a previous application has been refused, it does not mean that a further request will automatically be turned down. We do suggest however, that you leave at least 6 months between applications.

Can I request delivery to an address other than my home?

In order to safeguard against fraudulent applications, we regret that we're able only to deliver goods to the home address of the applicant.

What is APR and Rate of Interest?

The 'rate of interest' is the cost you will pay each year to borrow the money, expressed as a percentage rate. It does not reflect fees or any other charges. The 'APR' is a broader measure of the cost of borrowing than the interest rate. The APR reflects the interest rate, and other charges that you pay to get the loan. The FCA description of any APR is "APR stands for the Annual Percentage Rate of charge. You can use it to compare different credit and loan offers. The APR takes into account not just the interest on the loan but also other charges you have to pay, for example, any arrangement fee. All lenders have to tell you what their APR is before you sign an agreement. It will vary from lender to lender.
