Toad friendly pond edge help request
Hello good people
I have a pre-formed 70gallon pondlet that looks quite dead right now. No matter what i try to grow over the edge, no matter what size sticks i put in the water, the toads still come before plants have a chance to grow and they can't seem to climb on sticks. Last year i had bricks stacked all over and it not only cut down on the fishes space, but there are only two little shelves on the short end. The little guys seem to panic before they ever make it out, and they need just about a half a width of a brick more. These bricks also take up the little bit of plant shelves i have. So........ What i really want, is a way to make a ridge all the way around the pond just about 4 inches wide and an inch or two below the surface. (Leaving a place to overflow the pond from time to time) Any ideas how i could do this? I thought i could make a toad rack/ lol out of coat hanger wire but i need something besides sod to cover the wire with. Come on, geniuses, help this idiot who wants nothing if a completely toad friendly pond. (Oh, i cant WAIT to dig my next one. It will have a "shore" of sorts) Someone in the Dallas area refresh my memory. Is it the end of april that the toads spawn? That isn't very far away! I want to get their love pond ready! haha |
