Hole (for bath/pond) is filling up...

[Splasha]

Hi there, I thought for my summer project this year I'd build a wildlife pond. The hope is dug, shingle is at the bottom, just about to put sharp sand in and the rains came. I keep it covered up with some old bunk bed to stop hedgehogs, cats, foxes etc from drowning, but it has a few holes drilled for screws. there is a lot of clay and the hole is filling up nicely, lol. Can I just go ahead and put in the sharp sand in and the bath??? On the plus side it's catching the slugs nicely. Any advice very welcome. Picture attached

Not exactly sure I understand what you are asking, but someone else will be able to help.

so, you built a slug trap...NICE!! Haven't had anyone on GPF to that, yet!

Shingle; some sort of British idiom for ?? Shingles here go on roofs, so...

What are the holes for? Screws? Screws for what? You don't want anything sharp near a liner...

Yes, you can (probably) put your sand in. Bath? You're putting a bath(tub?) in too? Guess you're going to have to translate to this member of the Colonies!!
