We bought the ducks two presents at the weekend.
Firstly, to hold down the edge of the liner around the pond, two rolls of turf. Special offer at B&Q, although they don't seem to appreciate the cost, only how tasty they are. I am not sure how long they will stay around the edge of the pond as they seem to have great fun, swimming up to the edge and pulling a chunk off.
Secondly, and another bargain from Tesco, a large hamster ball. One of the problems we have with the large pond is green water. This is mainly due to the fact that we have removed the barley straw as the ducks kept pulling it apart. Tracy was telling us about a brilliant idea she had after seeing a barley straw ball in a magazine at the same time as her son's hamster was scooting across the floor in its ball. At £2 we thought it was worth giving it a try. Here is the ball filled with straw and it is currently sitting on the bottom of the pond. I will keep you updated on how successful it is as a straw container.
