Add a capillary barrier to the pond later?
We're currently trying to add a capillary barrier to our pond. We already had a half-capillary barrier, but a lot of soil got between the stones, causing the capillary effect. Our pond was losing a lot of water as a result. Now we're trying to add a capillary barrier, but we're not sure how best to go about it, as we don't have enough pond liner along the edges (as shown in the photo above). There are various methods for this, for example, using capillary barrier walls. However, we don't know exactly what the best, simplest, or cheapest method is, as we don't know anything about it.
Thank you in advance!

What does “everything mean”?
Our pond has about 8-10m2 surface and in the last 14 days determined 10 cm water level lost but by evaporation, drinking and bathing birds/gardens.
If this around your pond looks like on the two photos, there is no capillary effect.
No, it was definitely too much water that escaped.
Yes at the moment there is no Kapilar effect because we have shoved the edges free. But it’s about the earth being separated from the stones. The question is just how to separate it.
Other possibility to grow the supernatant of the film, fill a little soil and plant the stripe.
In the long term, only with trace concrete if it is to be on one level, but looks like… paving also went, but that always warms up very much.
To pour a “wall”, among which pond film makes cleaning work difficult, however, if you have to do it, you will also fall over the years unless you have stones/concrete under it.
Something always grows in or out, if the plants around the pond glow the water, then you don’t need to pour it.
Yes, as you have drawn, only that the planting must be below the water level.
Do you think I’ve been drawing on the supplemented photo? But I also have a very strong Kapilar effect.
