pea gravel doesnt usually work, of course bare root will work in a veggie

water lilies dont do well in pea gravel, dont do all that well in veggie

either. Ingrid


otoh, I've had success with lilies in pea gravel (and bare root). I'd agree
on the veggie filter though - there's usually too much flow for them to be
happy.


Bare root Lilies ??? Interesting concept.

I may try this but I did have trouble with fish nibbling at the roots of
my hyacinth which allowed them to go yellow and eventually die.

How do I stop this? I feed the fish everyday during the summer months .
