We are edging our pond with new sleepers to raise the level, mainly because of the children. This way there is a definate edge so they can't tumble quite so easily into it, and also Ava is going to get a grid type thingy which we can place over the pond when little sprogs, or friends of the children come over. The sleepers overhang the pond by and inch or so, providing shadey hiding places, plus, one side is going to be like a beach kinda area using stones so we can plant marginals, and it is an escape route for frogs, toads, and any larger critters that end up in the pond! The eventual plan is to have a stream running into the pond thru this beachy area - I will take photos, it will become clearer.
