A note on covering ponds: Ponds are vital for wildlife. We would only advise covering them with a wide mesh with gaps that frogs and other wildlife can get through or drink between, or by using fencing. We wish to encourage people to add a garden pond (as our November tip recommended), while alleviating any concerns about pet (or child) safety around water. A bird bath is another good way to add water for wildlife safely.
