We will leave this for a while before putting anything in it. Hopefully I will have some frogs, although I don't think there are any ponds around. If I don't have frogs then I will have to go and steal some frogs spawn from somewhere!!!!!!!! Is there any chemicals that we can get to take the chlorine out of the water, or have I just got to wait a while. What about when it needs topping up, if there isn't any chemicals around??????

Well done, a lot of hard work but it will be worth it. I think that's more or less the same size as ours. It's a good size because they do take a bit of maintaining so you don't want it too big. Also they look smaller, funnily enough, when they are new and barren. When we first filled ours the water went green after a few days, but it does sort itself out and clear again. We do just as Red Kite does and top up little and often and put the right sort of plants in. Frogs will appear as if from nowhere, you'll see. I bet you will have them spawning in your pond in March and will not have any need to steal any

Oooooo I do hope so. I love the little things. Except when you pick them up and they weeee all down you. LOL We saw a small dragon fly the other day, so they have got the message, and I hope they tell all the frogs and things HEHE
