I use fast growers and heavy feeders in this filter. These are mainly yellow swamp iris, water lettuce and water hyacinth. As they crowd each other out I move the excess to the compost pile. -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o |

Thanks McKoi,
How do you get the iris to stand up without using a pot? |

There would be no way to flush and clean the settling-tank/filter if they weren't. I have them in those black plastic pond plant pots. The roots grow over and through the pot. The lettuce and hyacinths just float as you know. -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o |

Plants for skippy filter. Try water cress, you can set it on top of the
filter media, and it will root into it. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |
