As I've said somewhere else on here, all being well we will be taking over a full plot within the next couple of weeks. On said plot there is a huge cast iron bath that at present is just sitting there full of water. I'd like to make a feature of it and hopefully attract some wild life, especially frogs, to it.
Couple of questions about this: do I leave the water in that's already in it? What can I plant in there and is there any where on the net that sells pond plants? I'd like some thing that spills over the sides a bit a) to disguise it and b) to provide shelter and a ladder for frogs - is this a realistic option? Or should I give up and get rid of it? Sinking it isn't currently an option as it really is massive - about 8' long by 3' wide by 4' high. I really don't have time to dig a hole that big or to fish the kids out every two minutes!
Oh, and I've been looking at those solar powered fountain thingies - do they work and are they worth it?
Sorry - that was way more than a couple of questions ::)
Thank you all you pondtastic people ;)
