As for the bacteria bit ? I think the poster is a little
confused - decaying organic material doesn't 'give off' bacteria
- it is the action of bacteria already in the water that break
the organic matter down into ammonia, this is further broken
down by oxidisation to Nitrates and Nitrites. Certain levels of
these are essential for a healthy pond, ammonia and nitrates
provide food for aquatic plants - very high nitrates however
will lead to very poor water quality and ultimately kill the
pond. This is why you should prevent an over-accumulation of
decaying leaves, fish **** and frog **** on the bottom of your
pond - the smell of that black sludge from the depths of the
pond is also equisitely disgusting.
Whoo hoo! Who gives a ****.
Just fill it full on concrete and be done with it.
****s.

Put a ****ing Swing on it. It's better than a bit of water that cats
**** in.

My cats would **** in it TBH.

You feed them too much.

Maybe you should build a pond and hope they fall in and drown.

Use some stakes and liners though....you know the script.
