Froglets in mortal danger from pond edging.

[southlonder]

Apologies for hijacking but I am hoping to finish my pond soon.
Some sides are safer to come out than others for froglets, can I encourage them to only use these sides (so they do not go into the lawn where they might be trod on)

That is a really good idea, T2, thanks for that. Would look much better than a load of individual plants. I'll do that in the autumn when baby frogs have gone, don't want to start disturbing round the pond just now.

Oh dear,

I'm afraid the froglets don't stay around the pond area, they'll spread all over the garden, then you take out the lawn mower. .

But happily, enough will survive to breed again next year .

Max.
