 e held beside Eric Fiechter's lovely pond in his flower-filled garden. The 
 pond measures 6 meters by 3.8 meters\, and is a meter deep. That totals mor
 e than 20 cubic meters of water\, giving his fish and aquatic plants plenty
  of room to grow. We can look down on them all from the beautifully designe
 d bridge adjoining the pond.\n\nEric built his first pond 30 years ago\, wi
 th the help of another Geneva Area Pond Club member\, Guy Loutan. He's buil
 t other ponds since then\, so Eric's a good source of advice for gardeners 
 creating their first pond. The pond we'll see on July 6 was created in the 
 space formerly occupied by three smaller ponds. Photos of  the construction
  are in the 'Photos' section of the club's web site. Log on to the album ti
 tled 'Eric Fiechter's pond' at http://ponds.meetup.com/1/photos/?photoAlbum
 Id=306264 to see details of the construction. You can click on each photo t

  do about the frogs that discover and move into our ponds. Most water garde
 ners love the sounds these fascinating amphibians make\, enhancing our feel
 ing of being close to nature. Unfortunately\, many neighbors don't share ou
 r enthusiasm. When club leaders Suzanne and Peter found that frogs had move
 d into their ponds in Nyon\, they were pleased to provide a home for them. 
 But complaints from a neighbor pressured Peter to catch all the frogs (most
 ly by hand\, for a total of 37 frogs) and move them to join other frogs in 
 the lake in Divonne. Eric and other club members have similar problems\, so
  everyone at this meeting will discuss their own experiences and solutions 
 for this situation.\n\nFull details of the July 6 meeting are at the club's
