It might work. I have transferred one of my clumps to another
fishless pond and they seem to be OK.


I have at least three clumps of frog spawn but they seem to be taking
a long time to hatch. After nearly a week they are just getting a bit
elongated from a black dot.


You're lucky, I can;t find any spawn. Nor have I seen any frogs
lately! I'm a bit worried that something has killed them off.

PS... Woohooo! I just saw one! (The first for several weeks!) I was in the
garden, adding attractive additions to my ponds, such as chunks of rotting
logs around the periphery, when a young one showed it's face! Gotta love
those creatures; it's as if they know they are my #1 ally, and that I won't
hurt them. I had a little chat the lil' darlin' before leaving him in
peace. Hopefully, that one has been busy laying eggs. I do hope more of
them will appear soon. I was worried that my slug pellets might have killed
them (even though I was using organic pellets)...

Yes they stick their heads up and stare, as if to say "What are you
doing to my pond?"
