I was told by the people who sold me the aquatic plants, that there should
be river sand at the bottom of the tub/pond. They also told me regular
potting mix would be fine to pot the plants in. I read elsewhere to top
the
soil with sand to stop the soil getting into the water which is why I did
that. So, I have about an inch of sand on the floor of the pond. Then the
3
little pots with plants in them - soil for the roots and topped with sand.

Regular potting soil? I would have thought it was too light weight for pond
use. Usually one uses regular garden dirt as it floats less, and a *little*
harder for the fish to dig up. ]
