Kitty Litter Question

thnaks for al the info, I'll have to give it a try this season.
Do you think you could just put the plants in stones to grow??

I've read here where some people plant specific plants in stones but I don't
know which ones. In the stones, your plants will have to get their
nutrients from the water because I would think that it would be difficult
pushing the fertilizer pellets down into the stones. This is my first time
using the 100% ground clay kittly litter in my pots but so far, the plants
are definitely growing in it. My pickerel rush has added at least 2-3
inches of stem growth since I repotted them earlier in the week. My water
lilies are growing about the same. I'm in Zone 7a, Charlotte, NC area.
My water is extremely clear too, knock on wood! Good luck!

The problem comes when it is time to divide.
Especially if you wait too long, like me.
Pond plants can grow an amazing amount and fill a basket completely full of
roots and those roots can be touch as nails to pull apart. On some plants I
have taken a serrated knife to divide them. Sawing through pebbles and rocks is
dang hard!

I agree. The main reason that I put some rocks in the bottom of my pots is
to give them extra weight and stability from the wind, particularly with the
taller plants. I'm new at this game, compared to many of you, but I learn
quick g.

Hello Porgers

Yesterday I went through the links that some of you have in your sigs and I
must say that there are some really fantastic ponds. You all deserve a pat
on the back. Hope your Summer goes well for you and your ponds

**So long, and thanks for all the fish!**
