Talkback: Newts and pond water
I have a small pond in the garden which was here when I moved in. It is small and not very deep, however, it has loads of water lilies, water snails and one frog. Should I clean the pond as it is very muddy at the bottom or should I leave it be by Flowerlady

water left for remaining starlings!! I have another big wooden bowl with water they use as well. As I top up the feeders and feed the foxes early evening I can refresh the baths so most starling will get their bath before going to bed!The frogs by rucklidge

or above something as tiny as an old kitchen sink can become a friving place for frogs, newts and all the marginal plants that you will be able to grow will bring in aload more wilflife too. if you go for this option buy a small fountain pump to place by weejenny

pond plants
My recently completed pond has a visible pipe at water level, which I would like to hide with a plant growing down from the rocks above it and trailing into the water. Are there plants I should avoid which would be toxic to fish, newts and frogs by Leslie Longstaff

as you can every so often. It is impossible to eradicate entirely, but as long as you keep most of the surface clear, it will not smother everything else. One important point for this pond, surrounded by tarmac, do not let anyone put frogs, toads, newts by kaycurtis

Digging a natural, unlined pond?
steep at one end and sloping at the other?  Maybe a surface area of four metres by three metres?  I'm guessing it will fill up with muddy water.  Could it be healthy, or will it just go slimy?  I'd like to have frogs and newts, and perhaps plant up by Laura Corin

are helpful to wildlife. There are no limits. A container just a couple of inches is deep is sufficient for frogs to lay spawn. A small basin of water, kept ice free during the day, is useful to birds in Winter. I have an upturned dustbin lid in a depression by maureen o'Driscoll
