bullfrogs wasting food, dead birds in pond
Comments (1)sorry this was meant for the pond board lol my bad...See MoreBird Pond advice??
Comments (1)Sla, I would take a trip over to the ponding forum. I think I have heard people say they are sorry they used pea gravel. You will most likely get alage no matter what you do. I like the natural look the alage gives so I just pull out the excess and let it be. You will love the bird traffic your pond will bring. You will attract other things to so be prepared. Hopefuly you are putting the pond near a tree or bushes for preening and for protection from preditors (but not so close it assist preditors). Be warned Bull Frogs can and DO eat birds, I have witnessed this myself....so have a suitable frog habitat for relocating them to in mind should you get them....See MoreNew bird visits the pond

Comments (12)I'm in southeast Michigan, and wondering the same thing. Right now I'm thinking this will just be a close call, but won't kill my plants. But I'm keeping an eye on the forecasts at NOAA.gov. I may spray the leaves with water, like taz said, if it starts looking like frost. I'm also wondering if a fan would help during the coldest part of the morning, since frost usually happens when it's not windy. I have too many to cover them all....See Moredrh1
