plants on milk crates
We are getting ready to dig our pond. It will be 5' deep. Instead of
leaving plant shelves in different areas, since we are not exactly sure where we will want the plants to be and may want to move them around and to make the excavation and liner placement easier, we are thinking of making the entire pond a flat-bottomed, uniform 5' with no shelves. Then, we plan to wire each plant pot to a milk crate (or two crates wired together for more shallow placement of a given plant) and set the crate(s) on the flat bottom. Can anyone see any potential problems with this approach? It seems to give us much more flexibility in plant placement, but we're concerned that maybe we are missing something???? One concern is that our koi may get caught in the openings to the crate (like a gill net). We haven't thought of a solution to this potential problem yet. Any input on this concern or the concept of using milk crates for plants in general (or a better suggestion for something to set the plants on) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Dennis |
