K30a - question
I wandered to your site - how do you grow cattails in a container?
Can you over winter them, or do you replace them annually? Don't you get mosquitoes in your little pondlets? IT, A "K30a" wrote in message ... Hi Alan, I'd love to find a place around Baltimore that removes unwanted wildlife from homes, and ask them to release some of their found rat snakes Now that's an interesting concept. The labradors would LOVE to catch your squirrels, they have been humiliated by the locals here and are itching for revenge. k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

I wandered to your site - how do you grow cattails in a container? When my fellows go hunting in the fall they bring me back all sorts of stuff. One year I took the fuzz off the cattails. I added garden soil into the container, smeared the fuzz around in it and filled it with water. I think the cattail tub is in its fourth summer. It winters over just fine in our zone 7a winters. It is also next to the house. The third tub out, the most exposed tub, wintered over its black rush this year. The middle tub lost its lotus, jj and I think, during a very early cold snap, but the arrowhead came through fine. Can you over winter them, or do you replace them annually? I love dwarf papyrus and that one I replace annually. It grows in the middle tub. Don't you get mosquitoes in your little pondlets? I use Mosquito Bits. I've used minnows, snails and tadpoles before but this summer with so many 90+ days it is not a good environment for them. And with West Nile I want to be extra careful. I also have three tubs in the yard in a shady area. I grow rushes and duckweed in those tubs. k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |

K30a - question
The arrowheads made it, eh?
I might try moving mine. I have it in water with no dirt, in the veggie filter contraption I set up. I really want cattails. I might try those in a container too.
