Delurk with chocolates and a question
The message
from Gwenhyffar Milgi contains these words: The tadpoles are numerous, it seems every frog/toad/newt in the neighbourhood deposits its spawn in it (yes, we have newts, and one of those legless thingies). We find our legless thingies in the local towns, mainly between eleven pm and midnight. In the early part of February, the entire pond was covered in spawn. Then the frost hit, and I thought we had lost it all, but there are still uncountable numbers of tadpoles. And lots of other goodies, bugs that run upside down, little white jumping thingies, things that look like a stick with fins and much, much more. We'd like something that is mainly vegetarian, as the plantlife is really, really well established and needs a herd of little somethings in there. I've been doing a websearch, and lots of places recommend goldfish or something called Tench as a bottomfeeder. There's a place in Conwy that looks on the surface of it as if it could supply what I need. Rather than let your pond overflow when the water flows in, I'd be inclined to make a sluice to prevent too much water getting in. With the present arrangement you risk losing all your fish. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
