Default Liquid fertilizer

Always ready to help you .... It is called Tetra Pond -
you pour it right into the pond with no ill effects. I
don't know what is in it. As for the bareroot lilies-
I can't help you that much. K30a has grown them
with good results.... some others have done the same.

Good Luck

This is something I want to understand. Some people can add fertilizer
straight into the water, or grow water lillies bare root, and their
water is crystal clear. There's something else going on besides
fertilizer bad, shade good.

Dont do it you'll get algae. Adding liquid fert will only add fert to

the
water column which is where algae gets it from. That plus it's high in
phosphates which is what algae utilizes much more so than plants.

Has anyone used this type of fertilizer for their pond plants? I was

wondering

how well it works and if anyone recommends a certain type. My pond is

large

(3500 gallons) and has quite a few plants so this would be easier for

us

to use

than the plant tabs.
