encouraging rat-tailed maggots...

‘Garden of ten ponds’ #2

Continuing my 'series' on our garden ponds...

This is a small pond in the woodland garden made from a recycled mini-vegetable bed reclaimed from a skip.

Enjoyed by birds and small mammals.

Believe it or not, my hope is for rat-tailed maggots in it this summer. Rat-tailed maggots love the gunk in ponds.

On maturity, they will join the rest of the garden hover-fly population..
