Frog bogs: Build it and they will come!
Have you heard our resident frog? Just months after the bog was completed in January 2018, frogs moved in and have lived there ever since. According to this video filmed soon after construction, the original frog was an Eastern Banjo Frog.
Recent recordings show that the new resident is an Eastern Common Froglet. These froglets are small (2-3cm) with skin of various shades of brown, and a low-pitched croak that is common around Melbourne throughout the year.
How to create your own bog
To attract frogs to your garden, you can easily build your own frog pond.
Maintaining your frog bog
Maintain your pond by removing fallen leaves and other debris, topping up water, and ensuring plants only take up one-quarter of the pond area.
Indigenous is best
Indigenous plants are best as they are preferred by local frogs. Use plants such as rushes, grasses and sedges. Other suitable plants include groundcovers or herbaceous plants, such as Desmodium gunnii (Slender Tick Trefoil), Craspedia veriabilis (Common Billy Buttons), Dichondra repens (Kidney Weed), Eryngium vesiculosum (Prickfoot), and many others.
Come in and see us for advice about the best plants for your new friends!
