Hi, my new wildlife pond is approx 2m x 2m ( less in reality) , 60cm deep.
I have 4 questions
1). Filter- Am I right in thinking that I don't need a filter as it's for wildlife?
2). Pump- Do I need a pump over winter ( for the waterfall) or shall I wait until spring? (Is if it's not used over winter am I potentially wasting some of the warranty?).
3). Size - I am looking at a pump for 2300
litres/hour as below:
4). Do I buy plants now or in spring?
Thanks

All Pond Solutions ECO Adjustable Pond Water Fountain Pump (2300 Litre/ Hour)
Does this look right for my pond size with a waterfall raising up to max of 2m above the pond? ( It's this high as it's on a slope!!)4). Do I buy plants now or in spring?
Thanks
