Although we have been enjoying some reasonable weather in the UK we are
having some windy stuff as well....the problem is that this is catching my
larger plants/reeds that are in planters causing the whole thing to end up
falling over and off their shelves and into the deeper regions of the
pond....

I bought some planting bags the other day that I was intending to use to
plant on the marginal shelves that I didn't get quite the right shape to
support a rigid planter....now I'm wondering if they could have an
application to stop the tumbling....

So my question is how does everyone else deal with the issue of marginals
in planters getting caught in the wind and taking a dive? and if there are
any suggestions over and above my current pick them up and place them on
their shelves again?

TIA

Hi Gill

I use bricks around three sides, which usually keeps them OK but does rob
you of some space.
I was thinking of twine through the holes in the black plastic pots to the
surround, but I can't remember if your pond is raised or not ?
