waterlilies and their pots
Hi Carol - I tried the mesh like pots and had the same problem - I switched
to the semi stiff solid plastic ones - work fine, - I also quit using pea gravel and went to larger "lake stone" - smooth, 1" - 2" dia - now fish don't pick up stones and spit them all over pond floor :~ Gale :~) Ok guys. I have a question about water lilies. I have about 15 of them and the problem is those pond pots we use to plant them in. You know the ones I mean. They're the large size black plastic stiff mesh like ones. I line them with a poly/cotton cloth to help keep the soil from oozing out. Then I cover the soil with gravel. The soil still oozes out as the lily sinks lower and lower in the pot. What kind of pots are you people using for your water lilies? What kind of soil? Is anyone using large regular plastic or clay/crock pots? Right now I'm using a nice heavy clay soil they thrive in. All suggestions are appreciated. :-) -- Carol...
