Re: frogs, advice needed please

We made our own cover for our pond, as someone else here suggested. A wooden frame made of 1" x 2" timber batons and cross pieces and a roll of green coated mesh or even chicken wire which is cheaper.

Our son has always respected the pond, even with the cover, but it only takes a ball or toy to accidentally be thrown into it to lure them to the edge with dire consequences. We removed the cover last year as he is 6 now and feel he fully understands the danger.

A pond is a very educational and valuable addition to any garden and it would be a great shame to lose it.
