STARTING A POND

[Sean Murphy]

Can anyone give me some advice about constructing a smallish frog and fish
pond, maybe 6ft x4ft.
Can I get a fountain pump which also filters?
How do I keep the water clean?
Is it true that if I hatch out frog spawn in my pond, the frogs will always
come back?

rec.ponds has a FAQ that would help you. Also, a search thru the rec.ponds
archives should give you reams and reams of information.

Good luck.

Re: frogs: build it. They will come!

Don't filter it too much, i think it's good to have murky water. We have
a couple ponds and the one with the clay bottom filled with nasty leaves
has tons of frogs while the other one doesn't..
