Just recently I managed to convince Himself that we really should get a small pond in the garden if we ever wanted to grow anything other than grass. The slugs have a monopoly in our back garden and we could do with some froggie assistance.
When he finally agreed to it it was a little late as by the time we got it put in the frogspawn that his dad had given us from their ex-pond to put in the allotment pond (one we put in late last year) had all hatched.
The taddies are quite fat now and the pond in the garden has started to go a bit green so would have some algae food type stuff. What I'd like to know is would it be a good idea to transfer a few from allotment pond to our garden one (they're both tiny) or would it shock/upset/traumatise them?
I was reluctant to do this earlier as there was no algae for them to eat but it is greening up a bit now so was considering it. The alternative is to put up with slugs for yet another year maybe two (how much slugs to baby frogs eat anyway?). Sorry for the long ramble - any thoughts/opinions welcome
