Thanks.
There’s a lot of hardcore to allow beaching so anything that falls in can crawl out on one of three areas. The base is filled with gravel, and hopefully the silt will encourage all sorts of crap to grow as a base.
Give it some months and at least 50% will be plant/weed. Fingers crossed the frogs and newts like it.

are the stones / paving just random finds? overall effect is decent.

Well done, it looks about as good as is possible with those liners. If the gravel was bought from a builders merchant it might take some time for wildlife to colonise as this is frequently salty.

Apparently if you chuck a bag of supermarket watercress in it will help deplete nutrients in the water and that will reduce algal blooms etc
