Default Anhoring Pond Plants

Hi, does anyone have any tricks on how to keep taller marginal plants from
tipping over in the wind? Seems no matter
how much i weigh them down, they tip over. Also, what does it mean to
seperate plants after three years and is using regular soil any
good?..........Thanks................

Had the same problem and use a bent, upturned wire coat-hanger to provide a
stable base ... seems to have worked. I bent thook straight and downwards so
that could stickin the soil with the 'arms' under the pot.

Tipping over in wind is nature's way of saying "you're too tall."

Don't fight natural selection.
