I made a little barrel pond and was told by all the pond making guides that wildlife would show up almost immediately. It's been a week (okay, 3 days, shut up) since I put the pond plants in, and yet I have no frogs or other creatures!
In order to facilitate the process happening faster, I used my Squirrel Wand on the pond. (I did have a Frog Wand, but I seem to have misplaced it). I will report back on the results.

Such a nice atmosphere today. #ponds #massachusetts #misty

🦫🌊 By building #dams and creating #wetlands, #beavers slow down #water and bury organic material in thick sediment.
This natural process prevents #carbon from entering the #atmosphere, turning beaver #ponds into long-term #carbon sinks that help regulate the local #environment.

Can '#WaterBatteries' help farmers tackle #drought?
Kirk England, 21 October 2025
"#Rainwater used to surge through Will Luke's dairy farm whenever there was a downpour.
"He used to watch it flow away but concerns over 'drier and drier' summers led him to build a storage pond allowing him to put that water to use - particularly for livestock.
" 'Once it leaves the farm, it's no good to me. If we capture the water we can get more use out of it. We're much more resilient,' said Mr Luke, whose farm is near Plymouth, Devon.
"The Westcountry Rivers Trust said #ponds and #wetlands were insurance for 'times of need' including droughts, and it was now leading a €8m (£6.95m) project on how the so-called 'water batteries' could be used to create a 'smart water grid' across Europe."

"Carp are a family of fish native to Europe and Asia. Common carp (#CyprinusCarpio) has been in the United States for over 100 years. The common carp is considered a nuisance fish or a pest fish. See Species Profile: Common Carp (Nonindigenous Aquatic species Database) for more information.
"The newest invaders, #BigheadCarp,#BlackCarp, #GrassCarp, and #SilverCarp that originated from Asia are collectively known as invasive carp or #AsianCarp. These invasive carp species are causing issues in the #MississippiRiver and surrounding waters. Invasive carp are fast-growing and prolific feeders that out-compete native fish and leave a trail of environmental destruction in their wake.
"The four types of invasive carp currently found in the U.S. were imported into the country for use in #aquaculture #ponds. Through flooding and accidental releases, black, grass, bighead and silver carps found their way into the Mississippi River system. The Mississippi River system is like a giant freshwater highway that has given invasive carp species access to many of the country’s rivers and streams."

Now that we have had our brief bit of fun with the #poolpond, it’s time to drain it so work on completing it can continue! It took just over 12 hours for my little spare pond pump to empty the main pond of about 80% of its water.
It will be empty by morning. I will empty the filter and intake bay as well just to clean everything out. The movement of the past couple weeks through the system will have loosened up a bunch of the gunk still on the various rocks in the filter so a full pump out should remove all that.
I will then concentrate on finishing the piping in the bottom of the main pond for the intake for the second pond and the “periscope” for the bottom returns.
Then I can work on building the rock wall to line the inside of the pond. Or at least experimenting to see if it will work at all!
If it *does* work and I have enough rock to at least start on the bottom layers of the inside wall, then I’ll be able to achieve another milestone: placing the final pebble on the bottom. Important, because that will prevent any groundwater from infiltrating and causing the rubber liner to bubble out.
Really really want to get past that mark before the autumn rains come! For obvious reasons! ☔️
Other jobs that need to be done before winter:
- finish the manifold for the second pump to distribute water to the sprayers and filter and figure out how and where to house and conceal it.
- Dig the electrical trench from the house all the way around the long side of the pond to the back tool shed so we can start wiring it in.
- Clipping the wires on the pumps and adding extension wire to them so they can reach said electrical supplies.
- permanently shore up/modify the borders of the ponds where they were found to be low.
- make a few other minor terraforming modifications for the stream and some of the edges so the water goes a little more where I want it to and a little less where I don’t.

Stumbled onto a comment on reddit that serves as a good reminder that pyrethroid mosquito sprays (Mosquito Shield, Mosquito Joe, Mosquito Squad, etc.) are highly toxic to fish. Labels always say "never spray near water" but applicators often ignore. #fish #mosquitoes #pyrethroids #virginia #pesticides #insecticides #ponds #koi

Felt a bit like spring down by Hidden Pond on the sanctuary this morning.
A little bit of warmth in the air. A few insects breaking the winter curfew. And that subtle change in the light.
Definite stirrings.
Yes definite stirrings.

Big thanks to @RandomCanuck for finding a CO2 answer!
This document (https://epdmroofs.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/08-ERA-Technical-Bulletin-Overview-of-EPDM-design-option-3.pdf) says standard 60mil* EPDM roofing membrane embodies 6.93kg of CO2/sqft.
So 45mil (1.143mm thick) will be 25% less:
6.93-25% = 5.198 kgCO2/sqft.I bought a 70ft x 30ft section.
So 2100sqft x 5.198 = 10,915.8 kgC02**That is equivalent to flying from #YVR to #HKG roundtrip, 13 times. Oooooff. That's a bit of a shocker. 🫢😐
OK, I guess I have some work to do to offset/capture some carbon in this here little pond/pool! The good news is, it will not feature any fish so I am hopeful that it will be, eventually, a carbon-negative operation as long as I plant it chock-full and periodically remove/sequester the compost to avoid methane emissions from decomposition.
*WHAT A STUPID MEASUREMENT lol “60mil” = 0.060in or 1.524mm thickness
** Holy heck I love the built-in math in the latest macOS/iOS update!!

Just bought a lot of rubber….
Technically... I guess this is the largest carbon-purchase I've made in a few years, at least since I last flew a long distance. Now I'm curious on the carbon footprint of EPDM rubber materials. I'll have to go googling for the embedded carbon in rubber later.
