There is an old thread about belfast sinks, I'll see if I can find it and bump it up.
Would be better if you can drop it into the ground. This helps regulate water temperature and makes it easier for things to get in and out
As for plants, I've got my native favourites that I recommend, they look good and are perfect for wildlife.
Although space will be limited .
Veronica beccabunga- for around the edges
Water forget me not
Watercress.
Starwort
Baldelia ranunculoides
Utricularia
Botomus umbellatus
Acorus calamus
Have bumped the other sink thread up for you Mex
Thanks for all your help , and thanks star gaze Lily
With a sink, you really need to make sure that there are stable rocks inside to make a beach to allow any beasties inside to escape or some of them will drown!
