potting lilies and marginals
I need to divide my water lilies, and also need to pot a half-dozen
marginal plants that I ordered from a mail-order firm. Do I need to use the specialized "aquatic planting soil", or will regular top soil - the kind you can buy at Lowe's or Home Depot - work just as well? |

potting lilies and marginals
Regular soil out of your garden, specialized aquatic soil, or plain, unscented kitty litter will work (rinse really well). If you have koi top the soil with large pebbles to stop them from picking it all out. Potting soil from the garden center usually has things that float in it. Those little white thingies or bits of woody stuff. You'll be netting it out of your pond forever... in my experience ;-) kathy |
