Pond Planting Bags can be used instead of the
conventional planting baskets. Advantages of the planting bag over
the plastic baskets are that they hold in the aquatic compost better,
don't require a hessian liner, can be folded over to reduce the height
of the bag and will 'mould' to uneven shelves. They are suitable
for marginal and oxygenating plants. |
|
|

|
|
Planting Bag 18cms 18cms x 18cms x 18cms. Holds approx 5.8 litres aquatic soil. Suitable for eg: 2 Fringed Lily or 2 or 3 Yellow Flag or 4 or 5 small Marginals/Oxygenators or 2 or 3 larger Marginals |
|
|
Planting Bag 25cms Diameter 25cms, depth 20cms. Holds approx 9.8 litres aquatic soil. Suitable for eg: 1 Water Lily or 1 Brandy Bottle or 2 or 3 Fringed Lily or 3 or 4 Yellow Flag or 5 or 6 small Marginals/Oxygenators or 4 or 5 larger Marginals |

Green algae and Blanket Weed (a form of filamentous algae) occurs when there is an imbalance in the pond ecosystem. This may occur in early Spring as the temperature of your pond water starts to rise and before the other plants in the pond have re-established after the Winter. Or it may occur with a newly constructed pond before a natural balance has been established. See Information and Advice pages on Blanket Weed & Algae Control. Barley Straw Pond Logs provide a natural, chemical free solution for algae in ponds. They are made from natural, untreated barley straw in a net. Pond Logs release natural compounds which inhibit the growth of algae in the pond water. The process continues for about four to six months giving long term protection from all algae including green water & blanket weeds. They are harmless to plants, fish and animals & are made from natural fully biodegradable materials. One pad will treat up to 700 gallons (3,000 litres) of water for 4 months, but in cases of heavy infestation we recommend that twice or even three times that dose should be used. |
|
|
Three Pond Logs One log will treat up to 3,000 litres (nearly 700 gallons) of water for 4 months, so this pack will provide 12 months protection. |
