I like it! I use Plantabbs. On a simular note, I had a lily that I
purchased from a local nursery. Three years later when I went to replant
the lily, I found lots of fertilizer still not dissolved in the soil. It
was that blue/green granular fertilizer that commercial growers use. Alot
of good they were doing.

I've been using Akwatiks - the commercial version of what's
described below. After finding them plugged with months-old
undissolved tabs I did some experiments with different brands of lily
tabs. I placed each in an identical glass of DI water and waited for
them to dissolve...
Plantabbs Pondtabbs and Pondlife Showlilies appear identical in
appearance and label analysis. These dissolved the most completely and
left the water the most clear. Jungle Aquatic Plant Food left more
solids, clouded the water the most, and developed a scum film and mold
on the water surface. AgSafe Aquatic Tabs dissolved the least, leaving
a lot of solids.

Anyone have a link for the plans to that device, I think it was made
from PVC pipe and you could jam it into the lily pot and fertilize
without getting IN the pond?
Also, somewhere with it, there was something about not having to use
the pond pellets but adapting regular fertilizer.
All my old links are dead. Anyone have current information?

Thanks!
