From small to large ponds, you'll save hundreds to thousands of dollars by following my tips. In this book I share everything: how to design a pond, set it up, tackle algae problems and ensure a healthy pond and aquatic life. Learn about the right plants, the necessary pond zones and how to maintain a clear, maintenance-free pond. My goal? Realize your dream pond, naturally, without the headaches. The Simons Pond Advice Book is your step-by-step guide to a beautiful pond that contributes to biodiversity. Simple, effective and packed with knowledge. Make your dream come true, with the wisdom from my book.
Simons pond advice book
I believe that a water feature, in the form of a pond or aquarium, can contribute to moments of rest and relaxation. Therefore, I would like to share my knowledge and make sure that people can build their own pond and enjoy it. This without having to do a lot of maintenance. For that reason I have summarized all the questions that have been asked over the years regarding ponds and water features in Simons Vijveradvies.
Contents of Simons Pond Advice Book
The book contains the basics for building and maintaining a pond or water feature. Both large and small. The more than 100-page book covers such topics as:
- What pond are you looking for and what should you look for?
- Explaining the difference in zones in the pond
- Maintaining the plants
- pond substrate and bacteria
- Getting and keeping the pond clear
- Pond troubleshooting
- Special plant species

Oxygenating plants and a bottle of Bacta clear
Purchased: Pond clear package - M
My pond was quite murky, so after a good conversation with Simon, I decided to follow the advice: more oxygen plants and a bottle of bacteria. I ordered the recommended package, but after four days no improvement was visible. Full of disappointment, I contacted customer service. They advised me to be patient and give the process 2-3 weeks. Although I had my doubts about it, I decided to wait anyway. And what turned out? After two weeks, the water started to clear and I even saw frogs that I had never noticed before! Thanks team vdvelde, and apologies for my impatience!

Plants are growing much better now and water is crystal clear
Purchased: POND SUBSTRATE pond substrate - 40 liters
Last year I had a landscaper install a plant filter at my swimming pond, recommending lava and some plants from the local garden center. Unfortunately, things went completely wrong; the plants died one by one and I suffered an algae infestation. After contacting customer service, I was advised to replace the lava with pond substrate and order some more plants. Now, several months later, the plants are growing well, and my filter is finally free of algae.

My little city pond
Purchased: Complete Pond Package - S - Red
I had been dreaming of having a pond in my urban garden for some time, but it always seemed like such a hassle. Online I found a complete package and decided to take the gamble, although I was skeptical about the quality of plants sent through the mail. But to my surprise, everything was delivered neatly and well-packaged. Within no time I had my pond set up. To my delight, after only two months I saw the first water lily bloom, and as icing on the cake I discovered salamanders in my pond. No idea how they got there, but it only adds to the joy. Truly enjoying it!

Blue lily: beautiful!
Purchased: Hardy Blue Water Lily - Nymphaea Blue Queen
Thank you very much for the generous delivery of the swamp iris "Blue Lis".
The new plants have been planted and I am curious to see if they will bloom this year.
There is good news about the water lily "Blue Queen": It is also blooming here in blue - and how beautiful!
