I just wanted a review on doing this. I believe Derek had some good
points on the advantages of planting lilies bare root.
Some of my questions are :
How do you fertilize ?
What type of fertilizer to use ?
How do you keep them in place ?
Thanks ! 
I've not got the answers, but thought I might add some questions:
My lilies have been producing their new shoots for about two weeks, they
are only 1" long at present. Would it be OK to remove all the soil and
go bare-root now? UK spring has just about sprung where I am in East Anglia.
How does the plant root in the wild, is it into the pond bed, or as a
mat on the surface?
Could the plant be weighted in a garden pond and allowed to grow
straight on the liner?
cheers
