Lotus Frustration
"~ jan JJsPond.us" wrote in message ... On Mon, 30 Jun 2003 On BV's Clay-ey Pond "BenignVanilla" wrote: I have a 30 gallon Rubbermaid sitting in the bottom of my pond, about 42 inches down. The tubers are planted in 5-6'' of clay. The container is 42 inches down? No wonder they're so big, once they hit the surface they explode into the air. I thought, correct me if I'm so wrong, that lotus are suppose to be less than 1/2 a foot under the surface. You ask me if they are in a clay-ey pond. Surely you jest. BV. On BV Clay-ey pond? ~ jan I planted my lotus as per my neighbors suggestion. These went into the pond months ago, before the conversations on proper methods were discussed. They seem to be doing OK, but I plan to replant them next year. I hope to do a lotus bog/pond up near the house, and then at some point link that pond to my VF so the whole system is connected. When I build that bog, I plan to make it only a few inches deep, and then I am going to just toss the tubors in, no pots. This will be "their" pond. |
