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

Not much at all.
A sunken plastic washing up (normal size) bowl/storage box will do.. Or
at least it does on our allotment.
We have a small grating over it to prevent people putting their fut in
it and/or hedghogs falling in. The bars are big enough for the frogs
though.
There are other ponds in the area also.
Do be sure to leave some undergrowth for them to forage through though.
Some long grass (ornamental is OK) is ideal..
As onother poster mentioned one or 2 'dwarf' plants Typha minima etc..
will help.
