A while back I seem to remember someone using bricks as a weight to hold lillys down instead of planting them more conventionally in pots. Seems like they simply tied the tuber to a brick and let it sink to the bottom, no planting medium at all. If anyone recalls the details of this or has tried it...

I have a 5 year old koi and a 3 year old koi. Both have stopped growing due to the small size of the pond. If I move them to a larger pond, will they start growing again? Or did I stop there potential with the small pond. Carl -- --

Got my first tomato from the pond today. I read somewhere about growing tomatos in the filter, the idea is that they are very heavy feeders and will suck up all the nutrients. I don't know about that part, but the plant grew and gave me some nice fruit. Tastes good as well.

I've given my indoor GF a couple of PP treatments two days apart to cure a parasite/fungus problem. I dosed them at 3 PPM to start (Friday) and kept the water pinkish with an extra 1 PPM every two hours. The day after (Saturday) the first treatment the fish with the white bump had shed his fungus...

Hi. I've been using the nutrafin nitrate test kit made by Hagen for a couple of months. I have a problem in that I've lost the instruction booklet and have forgotten exactly how to use the kit. Is there anyone here who uses this test kit who could possibly post the instructions? TIA This is the...

For what Sensitive vine (touch me Vine) costs, I must have pulled and thrown a couple of hundred dollars worth of it out today........I have sort of neglected to keep things trimmed up and pruned etc around my pond, and the stuff went wild. Also dug up and divided a heap of lilys.......I removed...

I heard that they made a colored (red , blue green ect) Water rotation item for the Henri water garden fountain head. Does anyone know if there is a one available? I have a model AB302 head nozzle. It has a translucent head so its made for a light that goes in it. I was told they had a multicolor...

I bought lotus seeds on ebay and am trying to germinate one. I sanded it down just enough to see cream (defnitely not too deep) and the first several days in the water, it didn't seem ot be doing anything (water remained clear) but then the seed got much bigger as it took on water and I was...

Plenty of fish(20) and plenty of plants. the water is pretty clear but I'm beginning to get concerned about too much sludge on the bottom, espescially with fall around the corner. Does anyone have any tips on a good bottom feeder? What happens to the...
