Why did Ellie insist they went to a local pond to get the water they tipped into their pond?
Firstly don’t use water or plants from another pond unless you are sure it’s safe. Ellie went to a pond that we had checked to ensure we would not run the risk of introducing disease, or non native plants or animals, and that we knew did not contain fish. Using a local pond minimises the risk of spreading disease. In time wildlife will find your pond under its own steam – just give it the chance.
