Planting the pond

On 10th April we planted submersible plants in the pond. They were a water lilly Paul Hariot, Mare's tail Hippuris vulgaris and Scirpus cernuus. We then discovered a small tear in the butyl liner which I mended with Adheseal.

On 11th April I found a number of tadpoles dead in one side of the pond (seperated from the main budy of water due to low water levels. I am sure the repair liquid did not come into contact with the water, so I can only think that the algal growth poisoned or suffocated them.

I now need to complete the edges and plant up.
