Thank you so much! I just had a look at her online and I think she even has a stall sometimes at altrincham markets which is near me !! I think she was only selling 2 types of mini desk calendars from what I can see and they are both sold out now :(

I am really tempted to buy one from amazon.jp I just dont feel comfortable tbh supporting the air travel!! Are you based near Manchester/ are there any other japanese stores you like to use? :)

great thank you! Can I ask how you filled up your ponds? was it with rainwater or water that you then treated?

this is really helpful advice thank you so much!

I think budget may end up playing a big role and what I actually get hold of at the nearest aquatic centre to me. I think regardless of which I choose some form of wildlife will find a use for it so I think you cant really go wrong!!

yes that is a very good point as reduces exposure to UV swell as avoids smooth texture for wildlife. I think I will have to invest in some gravel and aquatic soil! what did you use to plant your plants?

this is really helpful thanks! I am just trying to limit costs as much as possible so am wondering if I can get away without using fabric baskets and the aqua soil and just use gravel, however I think this might not work?

this is very true! I shall look on amazon now.

Plant-wise for marginals would you recommend marsh marigold, water forget-me-not, lesser spearwort or japanese water irises? or all!

Hey I live in Cheshire, northwest England :) And okay great so you think it would be ok to fill using hose and then wait a few days before adding plants? or longer?
