Adding a Frog Pond to your Garden
Aquaculture, Biodiversity, Land, Plant Systems, Urban Projects — by Christopher Wallis September 23, 2010
A pond in your garden can be very attractive whilst also providing habitat for native amphibians. The sound of frogs in your garden at night is very soothing, but the pond needs to be a reasonable distance from your house and your neighbours’, as the frogs can be quite noisy at times.
It is usually good to choose the lowest part of the garden to ensure a natural setting and water flow but placement can be relatively flexible. Half shade is preferable, with plants around the pond for shelter. A pond that gets no sun will stagnate and lose its inhabitants quickly. Make sure you wait at least two weeks before adding frogs to ensure that any chlorine in the water has evaporated.
