WILDLIFE GARDENS AND PONDS

I think luci is talking about rhizomes A as you say cut it of or as i say put a hole in the basket its going in and thread it through or just let it hang out over the top.

 

Well, I know what I'm talking about even if noone else does .

 

And its not a clump, just a long single stem with long, feathery root thingys sprouting off it . I've never seen anything like it before, it looks quite alien . Not to worry anyway, I'm sure I'll work it out. It's got a 50/50 chance to grow or not. Weather's better tomorrow so I'll take a pic before I put it in the pond.

And, there's nothing on the instructions about how to actually plant it, just says 30cm planting depth or very wet ground, sun or partial shade. Which is why I asked you guys

 

It does indeed @ARMANDII . Why didn't you say this in the first place . See, you do know what I'm talking about .

 

I think its called a Rhizome luci,

Its really up to you considering it will be in the shade most of the summer due our climate stick it in the sun

 

What i was trying to say in a polite way

 

So, Bog Bean has been cut in half and planted in pond. Don't know what to do with the other half, nowhere to put it and don't want to waste it or give it away as expensive. I mentioned this to hubby this evening, who immediately suggested another bog garden or another pond. I suggested a water barrel feature.

 

I have discovered blanket weed in my new pond. It was doing really well, the water was clear, the plants were growing and during the recent hot weather I kept it shaded. I have had to use tap water to top the level up as no clean rain water left. I think this coupled with the water warming up might be the cause. I cannot cram any more plants into the pond. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it ? There is a lot of it, clogging all the other plants.
