frogs!

how do you fasten down the netting so that nothing gets under it? with my
above-ground stocktank pond, all i'd need is a drawstring. but i can't
figure out how all y'all do it.

Actually, netting seems to disappear from view when installed. I resisted
netting my pond for too long until I got tired of the depredation. The
edges of our pond are about 6" or more above the ground.

This morning I caught and removed the 4th bullfrog of this season. I
don't remember having any last year -- this is only my second year for
the pond. We have seen frogs eat a variety of creatures this year.
The first one ate toads and two of my large fish. This last frog ate
a field sparrow.

Besides placing a net over the pond (I don't even want to do this with
lilies and rocks everywhere -- it would look bad and I don't even
think work), does anyone have any ideas -- or what has worked for you
all?
