I've put a couple of small ponds into the garden - one 40 litres and one 80 litres. What sort of plants should I get to encourage wildlife in? They're just large plastic troughs designed for livestock to drink from, so there's no soil or anything at the bottom.
Try a collection! I stocked my pond with plants from Puddleplants, who did all the thinking for me.
(Puddleplants are also more reliable than the big name plant merchants, I've got a lot of time for them, great webshop)

Puddleplants is a good shout. I just bought a few planting baskets from them for my new pond. I got plants from https://britishpondplants.co.uk/ who supplied a great native plant pond starter set. More photos to follow once we’ve got the baskets to plant things in - dummy here didn’t think about that until the plants arrived.
