Thank you Drc726
You've saved me a lot of time on the browser
I'm having trouble locating and buying them so that's the reason

Spring is really the best time as it gives the plants time to 'settle in' to their new home

I love my pond Frankallen - all sorts of wild life just come and go. We have had a three legged frog for some years we think he's male because he stays in the bottom of the pond in the winter. We have never seen frogs spawn but always have lots of frogs and the newts are so cute to watch swimming.

Welcome Derekf floating wood to stop freezing sounds a good idea. I float a ball on mine to do the same thing. You only need a small hole to let the gases out so if mine freezes I pour boiling water till I have a small hole right the way through the ice.

I went to buy some last week and none could I find! It seems April to September is the time - so a bit late now. Best time apparently spring to mid summer.
