Anybody put plants in their stream?
I just put some parrots feather into my stream, but it's realitively slow
moving, and not very deep or wide. You could probably put anything that you want into your stream, except for lilies.

There are a lot of plants that would grow well in the stream, but all of the
water plants are so rapid growing that I would worry about them getting large enough to divert the water out of the stream, emptying the pond. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Michael Shaffer" wrote in message ... are there any plants i can put in my stream to contribute to the veggie filter? |

are there any plants i can put in my stream to contribute to the veggie
filter? That is exactly the same issue I've got! I ordered some creeping jenny and watercress on the hopes it'll grow in the stream |

I have Pennywort, Watercress, and in the slower moving parts, Floating Heart
and Water Clover in my streams. the Floating Heart keeps trying to go over my lower falls, so I have to wade in and trim the rihzomes on occasion. Bear "Michael Shaffer" wrote in message ... are there any plants i can put in my stream to contribute to the veggie filter? |

My water mint is thriving in the stream. When it gets too ambitious, I
just pinch it off. Gabrielle Michael Shaffer wrote: are there any plants i can put in my stream to contribute to the veggie filter? |

I started a plant called Monkeyflower (I think) in our stream several years
ago and it's doing fine. It grows about a foot tall and has violet-white flowers in June (Zone 5). I got my starts from a local stream where it seems to grow like grass on shallow sand bars. Locally, it's considered a weed and I've never seen it for sale in garden centers. RGB Zone 5 OH |

I just bought Monkeyflower seeds from Parks seeds.com. I'm looking forward
to trying a few in my stream as well. Thanks for the tip Roger. kim "Roger Bennett" wrote in message thlink.net...
