How we Built a Pond

For the past few days we have been building a small pond in our front yard. In doing so we aim to atract more frogs and toads to our yard. Besides frogs and toads we hope to also atract other wild life such as insects and birds.



The pond is not very big but should do the trick.  This type of pond wont last long but should serve its purpose. Its just a pit in the ground with sand on the edges of the inside walls.
Its lined with black PVC plastic, and there are some stones at the bottom of the pond just to add some natural feel to it.
 I am not positive that we will get the amount of frogs and toads that we are hoping for, but I still think that we should still get some.
 If not we still have a small dam close to our house on a local farm so we can go look there for some there to study.

  1. Looking good! Can't wait till the amphibians arrive. It'll look even better with some aquatic plants.
