The Living Machine W/C 15th April

Last week Mrs Lawson and Mrs Ferguson introduced frog spawn to the living tank.  There was also plants which were put on a sort of raft to float above the frog spawn . The plants were forget me knots, King Cup, Moss, Bitter Cress, Monkey Flower, Mint  and Yellow Saxifrage.

The pump was also installed by Mrs Ferguson. The tube went down in to the filtration system and then pushes it to the solar panel which heats it up , and pushes it to the other end of the living machine where the frog spawn are. The water then makes  it ‘s way back through and starts all over again.

On Friday when we looked at the tank some of the frog spawn had hatched.
