I want frogs for slug control. I haven't much space. How much water do I
need?

Thanks!

Sink a half barrel (~3' dia.) into the ground. Add some bricks to allow
small mammals, such as hedgehogs to escape when they fall in. This is
also suitable for a dwarf 'pygmea' (?) lilly. and perhaps one or two
other aquatic plants.

Our barrel contains up to 5 adult frogs plus newts and water snails.
