There seems to be only one firm rule: If it works, it is OK.

We have ours in 1-2" rocks only. No dirt. Easy care and no roots exiting.
Our containers, however, have no side holes, only bottom or none. Lillies,
cattails, pickerel weed, etc. Works for us, cf. pondsite below.

What is the recommendation for plant pond plants?
I am going to use the "standard" plastic basket type planters, but
somebody
told me that I should line it with landscaping fabric in order to keep the
roots under control.
Is this a good idea?
For Lilies?
For cattails?
Other Plants?

TIA
