I've got an abundance of toads in my garden and yard this year.Been finding the little critters in pans of water and they cant get out. Five years ago I bought a pond liner and today I put it in the ground where it belongs.

Maybe the little fellows can get a drink and get out.

I know! I have some of it. (I'm not 'sitting on it' tho...I share with my rock friends!) Nice pond snuffy! Sue

Are you going to stock it with Koi fish or plant some water lillies? Stu

Thanks for the comments.I plan on maybe putting several goldfish in it later for the grandkids.Got to see how hot the water gets in the summer,the pond is only about 18 inches at the deepest.Got to landscape around it,maybe.Will put some plants in on the ledges.

Love the Pet wood around it! Lots of nooks and crannies for the toads to shade! You should have a blast with this! Cathy

That was a real nice thing to do for the little croaking critters, Snuffy. Jo

You can always tell when someone has a nature-friendly yard by when larger animals start showing up (i.e. above bugs and such). Yours sounds like a great one! Paul
