This is the site of our future frog bog. As you can see it's not much to look at right now, in fact this is where we just dumped stuff like Peter's trailer. Water is pooling here, not quite as badly as it looks in this shot. This is partly because the ground has been compacted down for so long and not been turned over (I've noticed that where it has been turned over the water is draining through nicely) and partly because the concrete path is blocking the natural flow of water away from here. The rest of the garden drains really well as we have mulched it and turned the soil over, also I don't think it received all the pressure this area did from building equipment and so forth.

I need to do more work on the front garden so the bog is hold for a little while. This is a shame as there is evidence of frogs breeding in the paddocks nearby where there are lots of puddles and ponds. Hopefully they won't have given up by the time we're ready - I don't know much about their breeding cycles.
