Small Pond

[No More Names ......]

I'm going to do some research on how to prepare a wild small garden pond, but i can't find a answer to whether frogs and such like will appear at some point, or if i have to buy some.

Besides the row of long gardens because of a long terrace road, we're surrounded by roads and buildings .. with plenty of woods and fields a few hundred meters away ... beyond a railway ...

Has anyone set up a wild pond and found wildlife turn up at some point ... with not much clue asto how they appeared ...

If a fox can frequent the shopping complex carpark around the corner, then why cant few frogs and newts turn up to say hello ...

I don't want to do the work and money spent without having some litle critters turn up ! or i will buy/source some if need be..

Could nik some frogsporn ! from kermet and his pals in the woods pond ... mmmm

As far as I know if you are patient the chances are you will get new residents without having to buy any. I found a toad in the hedge at the back of the garden and the nearest water is a good half mile away across the field, so they do travel!

Alternatively, try and find someone with a pond and see if you cna have some frog spawn as there is always loads and people are normally happy to share.

Is the landlord going to mind you digging a hole in their garden?

[Visitor Q]

Aye, things will turn up. Frogs magically just do, bless em. But frogspawn isn't exactly hard to nick. Just go to the country in spring and get a couple of small handfulls from somewhere. Note, the ones you touch do die, so bring a pot eh

Newts are quite fussy. Best bet is stocking it really, but they're expensive to buy and I'm not telling you where to steal them

If the pond is healthy and has a good ecosystem, given time, in just about any garden, you will get everything

Whilst on pondy subjects, I too have a hankering for a small pond.

But the only place that suits me in my back garden is a tiny patch of ground which backs up against the manhole cover.

What is the sense (or otherwise) of creating my pond there?

I'm talking literally, a shape probably not much bigger than 12x18" and maybe 9" deep (or maybe just deep enough to sink this fountain spigot thingie I've got). And I wanna have like a little mountain of stones and run a river down into the "pond", and back up the side of the mountain again.

I don't give a monkeys what my "landlord" thinks

I doubt if I could EVEN manage that right now.

Don't take the piss, sunshine, else I'll make you spend your birthday stripped to the waist digging said pond whilst I perve from my bedroom window.

*fans self fretfully at the very thought*

Remember Braveheart, when the Irish Nutter said:


' It's MY IRELAND '.........


And they don't seem to mind me spending hundreds and sorting out a 100 foot garden, so i'm sure a ickle pond will be OK ...

I'm sure they don't mind you spending the money when they approve of what you're doing, but they might not want the pond.

I'm not trying to be an arse - if you can get it in writing that they don't mind, then they won't withold any money from you when you come to move out to make it good.

Or, be prepared to make it good before you leave.

If they can fuck you, they will.

Be ok, it's going to be a pre - formed small one, and i'm not moving anywhere, my neighbour got moved by them, and got over 5 grand !

Yes babes, but you have a 100 foot garden, how small a pond is "small" ?


I quite like the idea of frogs myself, only I don't fancy crunching them underfoot when undertaking bathroom visits in the middle of the night.

Shall i take it you have a out side loo .. or live in a tent or shanty town ..

I'm thinking something like this, i would do bigger but it costs to much ... especially as i've got to fit it on the back of a 125 cc ..

Why have you got so many red blobs?
You seem like a perfectly nice chap to me.
Anybody who offers me a go of paddling in their spa pool, erm ... pond, is okay in my books.

Have you been upsetting the karma freaks with bad spelling and snide remarks that upset their ordered little applecarts?

You can't please all the people all the time, and when your a nice chap in real life, you have to have avenues of dastardly behaviour .. ie Cunt on here the poker table and cnc3 !! ..

[hellkat]

Well, a man who knows how to use the word "dastardly" correctly in a sentence can't really be a man who deserves three and a half pink blobs

(what does cnc3 mean?)
