What should I put in my frog pond?

Fish are natural predators of frogs, especially eggs and tadpoles. Add Plants in and Around the Pond. A variety of water plants such as water lilies help to provide cover, shade, and a more natural environment. Likewise, provide plants around the pond for shelter and shade (hostas, ferns, wildflowers, etc).

Why do frogs like ponds?

Frogs actually spend very little time in ponds, only using them to breed so your pond needs to be a haven of safety for those babies. Frogs like still water, so you don't need a waterfall or aeration. Algae in the pond will help nourish tadpoles and create prey for adult frogs too.

How deep should my wildlife pond be?

The pond should be about 90cm deep in the centre to give creatures a place to shelter over winter. Create a flat shelf (30cm wide and 30cm deep) for standing plants on around part of the perimeter, leaving the rest gently sloping to allow pond visitors access in and out of the water.
