In "Encyclopedia of the water lily" by Charles O Masters it's suggested you use manure, Yeee-ow, you use manure, you get green pond. Been there, done that. My ponds were ready for St. Pat's day that year. I'd only redone 2 pots, pulled them out, used my unadulterated sandy soil, clear pond in 2 days, thanks to a good filter. ~ jan ;o) You seal it with fine beach sand. I use it in aquariums. http://images.aquaria.net/tanks/rjs/tk-1/ This tank has had manure under the 3" of beach sand for 7 years. Some poeple get green water without manure, but it's possible to use it and not have green water. The net is great and all but books are still good. Masters book has lots of pictutes of great and clear ponds with manute in the lily pots. -- Need Mercedes parts? http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home pages: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |
