Water Lilly

Don't know, sorry, but when Monty Don did it a few weeks ago he attached a brick to one end of some tights and chucked it - the tights looked odd half-in / half-out, but he then implied (I think??) that it needed a combination of air / water to do its stuff

 

Ok , thanks I just bought a couple of those very expensive things at a gardencentre, it didn't say anything about letting it float, it just said chuck it in, which I did.

 

Just an update.
I've never had so much blanket weed in my pond as this year.
OK maybe it should be floating but I cant find it now its sunk.

I'm not convinced this stuff actually works though, could it be just a myth, one that makes someone a lot of money.
Maybe the EU are right for once.
Lets face it nobody can be wrong all the time. Even that lot.
