we are using ioion bags to hold lava rock in the filter we have for
one of our ponds and I have had no problems with red fibers. Just be
sure to wash the bags good before putting them in the ponds .

Hi
I been lurking here for several years but this is the first time my
question hansen't been answered by just reading the posts.

I plan on going to the dollar store to buy various kinds of bio media.
I want to put this in mesh bags of some sort to make it easier to
clean. Will the red mesh bags that you buy onions in at the grocery
store work? I don't want to have a pond full of red fibers next month.

Thanks
Russell Mack

It has been several years now that I have used the bags from onions,
flower bulbs and bath scrubbers. I don't like tree netting. Happy
water gardening.
