Water Gardening

Very pretty, well done! Do you know the names of them? I might get a pink or red one to go with my white one (N. alba). I also quite fancied a colour changing one... I wonder if it matters too much if they aren't deadheaded cos I've got rather a large pond to be reaching across!

You could give some to your friends always nice to have something from another gardener. My garden is full of plants with a story attached. Some were cuttings but we won't go into that.

Roundup is aproved for use on aquatic plants and is reasnably effective, however i tend to agree with wallnut.As with all pesticides and herbicides, you should follow the instructions as per dose, The manufacture's carefully calculate the dose rate and doubling the dose is usually...

Believe it or not ducks are the worst thing for a domestic wild lfe pond. They "dump" every where and with their feet going at ten to the dozen they can soon stir up a shallow pond.Been to a nice garden centre earlier this year, they sell duck food so you can feed the ducks, (they will take it...

Thank you, I can understand your concern re upkeep but mine was built with mainly recycled matterials. The tank I had to buy second hand and eventually after trying many small pumps I did buy the smallest one I could find with a filter and uv light, it works a treat and keeps the pond lovely...

in short, you should choose a pump that is capable of delivering a reasonable amount of water to the required height (4 feet in your case)most pumps have a flow graph on the boxas for how much water it depends on how wide the feature isusualy the left is height the bottom is LPM...

mine has run dry loads of times and its still going strong and only tap water

Are you sure they're water crystals? Maybe a slug left them behind after laying them.:eek:

Vik, check the Blagdon and Lotus websites, see what they advise.

I was wondering where the leaves were :o

Sounds interesting. Let us know if you find it online.

would it not be easier / better to not link to the index page but the actual page you mean?and i have to disagree with the reasons of you theory.Yes, timing how long it takes to fill a known container (say 1 litre) will give the flow rate of what ever (tap in your case) but that is of no...

:D:D:D Nope.. Have just spent hrs looking at the sight..!!!!:D:D

We have some. Then again we don't have fish or frogs or anything to eat them!

So there is hope for mine yet. I had one in the garden that flowered, it was almost hidden so I potted it up, put it in the pond and hey presto, no flowers last year. I have three seperate pots of them now in different locations, one being in the pond, here's hoping.

My pond has had a visit by a heron, we have put a terracotta plant pot in the bottom for the fish to hide. At the moment they are feeling very nervous and not coming up for feeding...Its all very sad !

A pond is a wonderful thing to have. I dug mine out to max depth of 35" concreted the bottom and 3 coat rendered the sides. I then purchased chopped straw mat, resin, hardener and some cheap brushes. The method is the same as boat building. 1/ Mix a portion of resin and hardener, paint this...
