Habitat

Sunday, July 09, 2023

I’ve been thinking about how to create a frog pond and where to establish it, and I have come up with ideas. Today while leaving work, I’ll pick up a few basic habitat components, a large shallow plant-pot liner, and a couple of clay pots. I’ll also get a few tall grass plants.

I will bury the shallow liner in the corner of my garden and fill it with water. The clay pots will be set beside the frogs’ water and inverted to become frog shelters. Small rocks will elevate the pots slightly and let frogs enter and exit.

I’ll plant tall grasses around the water pan and shelters. I will place appropriate-sized lava rocks for added shade and for safety from predators.

I’ve been reading about habitat care and am gathering that appropriate maintenance is simple. My job will be maintaining a damp frog environment and changing the water every few days.

An interest, a plan, and a beginning–boosts that encourage new journeys.

Dear Friends: I hope the new frog habitat may begin attracting occupants this evening.
