that way will probably chime in . . . I need to know myself, pretty soon.

Do you have the annoying clay type dirt in your yard? That is what i
read lillies prefer. Then cover with well rinsed kitty litter or a
similiar medium.





Plain kitty litter is clay. My koi had a wonderful time digging in it
even with a layer of 1" stones on top. I then added larger stones and
they still dug in the kitty litter.
I quit using the kitty litter and soon dug a pond just for the koi with
no plants.
