We inherited a water feature when we moved in which I've since dismantled and now use as a wildlife pond. It's only small, probably 75cm in diameter at a guess but has been well received by frogs. It did have box around it, trimmed to about 40cm in height but despite treatment the box moth caterpillars have returned this week and finished it off.
The pond is in a border with plants but on our drive which means the cats that live next door love to sit near it waiting for wildlife. As it's at the front I can't fence it off in any way to stop them so I want to replace the box with something ideally evergreen but low in height that offers some protection/camouflage to visiting wildlife and stops paws being dipped.
Does anyone have suggestions please? It's south west facing but gets the shade of the house mid afternoon onwards. The pond itself is fine in terms of oxygenating plants, bricks to get in and out etc. thank you!
