A little update on the floating island.
We do keep it in the pond all year. The line we had it tied to has been broken off for a few years now. We just let it float around the pond where ever the wind wants to take it.

The cloth we used on the sides has basically all rotted away now and we just have the black plastic sides as is. The frogs love this island and now will spawn on it and spend the entire summer floating around on it.

Come spring I will post up some pictures of it and the grasses we have growing on it. There is such a root mass under that the island will be grounded if in 4 feet of water.

The main structure of the island has held together very well for 5 years with out touching it. Some wild grasses have started on the island and in the spring we will see the odd duck or goose on it.

Cheers Don.
