Hi Carole,
Glad you found us!
Is a much nicer place to ponder pond problems here :-)

I was wondering if you could add something plastic to
help out the newts and frogs (am a critter ponder). I've
also used branches from cherry trees and they worked
for me. You can see them in the picture labeled frog
hunting in my slide show.

k :-)
