I've tried the Scotts before, along with the kitty litter, etc. but I have
found this to work best for me with my lilies and pickerel rush. I put
these plants in a pot and place enough small rocks on top to keep the plant
roots from floating up and out of the pot. The roots thrive on the
nutrients in my pond water with no fertilizer added like you have to do with
planting medium. When I clean my pond in the spring, I pull the pots out
and create new pots of plants, if needed, by breaking the root bases apart
and starting the process over again. Good luck!

Years back I was able to purchase some pond "soil" at Lowe's & Home Depot.
It was made by Scott's, I think. It was ceramic particles actually and not
soil. It was nice because it did not float or cloud the water and should
the Koi uproot the plant it was easy enough to scoop into the basket and
replant the whatever.

I guess I could use very small pebbles like you can get for landscaping
but I wanted to check in with you guys first.
