Has anyone incorporated a puddling area on the edge of a pond? I'm looking for visual examples of this. So far I've only come up with a picture of some on a rock with water around it. I would think that the water would be rich enough from a pond. I'm wondering if some shallow rocks in a bog area would do the trick. OR, maybe I should use the method of sinking a plastic container with sand and compost, etc.
