Frogs

Frogs and Toads are a relatively rare sight in most gardens nowadays, but curiously it is in the countryside that their numbers have fallen most heavily, owing to, among other factors, the dredging of ponds for farmland, the loss of hedgerows and the use of pesticides. Frogs breathe through their skin and they are highly sensitive to pollution in the water.
Thus environmentalists tell us that the recent steep decline of the frog population indicates that we have very good reason to be worried about the world in which we now live. Like ladybugs, bees, toads and most birds, frogs are a gardener's friend because they eat so many pests, especially slugs and aphids. Creating a pond in your garden is the best way to attract frogs and toads.
Creating a pond is not particularly difficult and it will add a new, pleasant nook to your garden while attracting much beneficial wildlife. A pond is perhaps the most beneficial of all the habitats you can create in your garden.
