Default Pond sealer & dead plants



Imagiune what they would do if they had a dose of Wally Worlds El
Cheapo high in ash and low in other contents cat food for a whopping
$6.99 for a 40# bag It should be named Special Fishy instead of
Special Kitty food.

Oh, dear.....maybe I should be dropping a small pellet of "Go Cat" into
my planted tanks....I tried Flourish Excel....it seemed to work well...a
little too well on the duck weed in my son's tank but hey ho....I
somehow managed to cross thread the lid and I'm b*ggered if I can open
it again....plants don't seem to distressed yet.....an expensive mistake
that needs a scissor attack....but this is all a little OT for a pond
group so sorry.....

My bog plants - mainly irises, do brilliantly on discarded fish tank
water....rich in nitrates and phosphates.......and all sorts of other
stuff....my house plants thrive on it too...if I remember to give them
some......
