Re: TV News telling people to fill in garden ponds!

Oh no we had better concrete the ocean and rivers and cover with rubber matting.

I worked as a gardener for many years and often came across parents who wanted to fill in their ponds. I found a way round this by suggesting grid wire as a temporary measure while their children were small.
I then pointed out the plus sides for children to be able to pond dip their own ponds, as well as the benefit for wildlife.

The news has some stupid subjects and seem to love putting people into a panic. Next week it will be everyone must have a pond.
