Hi I'm new here and I had a question about vines.
I will be building a 8x11 outdoor pond to start a turtle pond. Well I need to enclose the whole thing because of my 3 dogs and kids. I'm going to put in a 3ft fence around it and wanted to hide the fencing with some type of vine like morning glory's or jasmin. Do you recommend one that will not kill them.


Thanks

Morning glories are an annual plant that will have to be replaced every year. They also will spread seeds everywhere and the seeds are a toxicity hazard.
I would go with something like the ivy that you see going up trees and the sides of houses.
Or are you more interested in something with flowers?

Welcome to the forum!!

Grape vines are safe and offer a little snack, too. You'll want to keep the snacking on the fruit themselves down to a minimum though just because they're kind of hard on the kidneys. The leaves are fine as a more frequent snack.

Another is pothos, rosary vine (kinda spindly though), and I'm sure there are some more...I would just need to do a little searching.

Thanks for everyone's input. It really helped me out. Now I need to map out where the pond will go.
