I put the word out at the allotments that I was after an old bath to make a wildlife pond with.
I arrived this evening to do a couple of hours much needed maintenance of my plot to find, what looks to be a brand new white fiberglass bath propped against my greenhouse door!
No idea who donated it but no doubt I'll find out at the weekend!
Luckily our allotments are a very 'Happy go lucky' bunch of blokes and the barter system seems to work very well. How much is a bath worth? A dozen cabbage plants? A clump of pot leek seedlings? I don't know, but I'll find some way to pay back the bath donor!
I intend putting a plug in it,digging a hole to accomodate it and part filling one end with sand to form a slope for any small animals to get out. Once that is done, and because it's white, I think I've got some black teram weed suppressant material which I'll stretch over the top before adding the water.
A bit of soil round the edge and a few stones to try and make it look 'Not like a bath' and leave it to it's own devices and see what happens methinks!
