Neville has another quick garden hack, this time for fixing pond leaks.

• If your pond's water level suddenly drops, indicating a possible leak, there are steps you can take to identify and address the issue.
• Start by investigating any water features like waterfalls or spills, as these are common areas for leaks. Turn off the pump or redirect water flow to isolate these features and observe any changes in water level.
• Thoroughly inspect the waterfall for signs of leakage, as water may be bypassing the system.
• Clean spills to ensure proper water flow, especially if plants are obstructing water movement.
• If the water level continues to decrease, allow it to reach its lowest point. Examine the waterline closely to locate the source of the leak.
• Fortunately, there are various adhesives and putties available to seal leaks, including options designed for underwater use.
