Watch this space friends as we convert this old bathtub into a beautiful Frog Pond 🐸🐸🐸 We have three small frog ponds in our garden and now it’s time to upgrade to a larger one 🐸💚🌿 I’ll show you step by step how it’s put together 😄

Its great to hear @mich1972 the small fish and Frogs are working out.
First pond was a plastic sheet in a hole i dug into the ground for the 2 ducks we have for a short while before they stared to try mounting chickens . I seeing a therapist about that.
Wow this was 25 years ago in a rental property I am only showing this as you kindly asked. Now I look back I was going through a pond learning stage.
Water was split and pumped up into the tree 1.5 m up approx and it cascaded down to 2 splayed out tree limbs meeting at the middle (Via mini ponds mounted in tree with water fall like spouts. About 8 teirs in all up you can just see two of the lower ones in photo working pouring into a raised fiberglass pebble crete pond wrapped with timber edging that poured out into a japaness water balance I made ( it fills with water then tips out periodically ) onto a ramp into a lower frog pond another buried fiberglass pond which then flows into the bath tub aka the fish pond gold fish and they do eat just about every thing.
I was young and advernturous this pond far to busy for my tastes today. The water cascading in the tree is nice I was unique but not good in wind so had to put in by pass valve and only use tree supervised.
I dont think any frogs showed up in the pond but who knows if they live in the area anyway? We never heard any in the region at night, a little disappointing but projects never come with GTs Birds lizards yes maybe the lizard s where a deterent.
But a bath tub like you have is as every bit as enjoyable and nice to watch and more frogs than me lol
Because it was a rental we simply put in black plastic weed mating on fence and we took the ponds with us I am still using the bigger150L pond as a koi treatment tank less medicine used versus 7000L Next pond evolution.
Now I am stalled on the enlargemnt of that pond as I want to run koi and have the water and koi come right up to the top of the steps in the foreground. I hope that will be my last pond its a huge learning curve going bigger in so many areas.
You asked for one pond and ended up seeing my pond hobby evolutions . Your Bath pond is huge value for your enjoyment. Equal to my efforts as we are making whole eco systems.
Morning Community Workshop friends. 😃 This is our Frog Bogs - shallow water, heavily planted up , that’s right near our Bathtub Frog Pond . This area is very leafy and protected. Please note, these bogs are very shallow, filled with plants, driftwood, timber stakes.
Well the Frogs are enjoying the extreme hot weather here in Perth !!! 💚
