First!
You didn't say how old the children are? I have had a pool for about ten
years with small children growing up. I covered the pond with a compost heap frame. this is wire coated in green plastic with 4" square holes. The plants can grow through and the fish and newts are of course fine with it. With regards to depth of ponds I made the mistake of thinking that if the pond is deep and the bottom doesnt freeze then the fish will be OK. Mine died, probably due to the gases in the decomposing leaves at the bottom of the pool. I was told to keep an air hole (how do you make an air hole without smashing the ice ? I was told a pan of boiling water left on the ice but this s useless when the ice is a few inches thick or more) "Jed" wrote in message s.com...
