Unfortunately, not all areas have ponds, which affects the quality of the ecosystem at the dacha.
Many summer residents try to organize a pond, at least because it is an independent ecosystem that attracts a large number of original plants and living creatures.
Obviously, the pond acts as a source of drinking water for other animals that may be useful for the garden.
Let us pay attention to the opinion of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh regarding the importance of constructing a pond.
Why do you need a pond at your dacha?
Drinking water is important for many birds and small mammals that destroy pests in the garden.
The pond is popular with bees, newts and dragonflies. It may attract grass snakes, but they are known to hunt mice.
To make a pond, all you need to do is buy a ready-made plastic container and fill it with stones and sand.
You can make a small pond and even improve it with a fountain.
