'Cause it's time to bring the fire down
Quick garden update. After lots of chainsawing and digging, my garden now looks like this...
It's a bit of a change from what it was when I moved here. Still lots to do but i'm getting there. Bought my decking, just need to buckle down a bit. It's just hard to work for more than half an hour before my hands give in...
When I had just started to chainsaw part of the elder tree I caught something out of the side of my eye... cut the chainsaw out and had a gentle dig around, and found two froggies... was really glad I saw them. Knowing that they would go straight back to the area they were in I decided to drop some water in my pond liner and leave them there 'til I am done hacking about... tips about how to keep froggies content would be muchly appreciated...?!?
Been quite a bit more content lately for some reason. Alcohol control is probably the main factor. I still have odd occasions, but i'm doing better, much better :-)

Well, we have some amphibians in tanks at my house, but if your finding frogs in your yard this early in the year I think that once you get your pond liner in the ground and if you get a pump to throw in there then the frogs should just come out of nowhere to fill your pond.
I think you prolly want some vegitation in the pond like cattails(dont know if they grow on your side of the atlantic, but I assume some bullrushes or something else would fill the same niche), or lillys or soemthing to keep the birds from eating them. Im pretty sure tadpolls just eat mesquito lava and such, maybe get some water from a local already running pond and pour it into your pond to get the microbes eastablished so you can start cultivating enough planaria (I think thats the word) to feed some larger animals (Like frogs).
Hope that all made sense.
Good job on the yard it looks like a LARGE undertaking but Im sure the rewards will be great!
