lotus tuber
"Nedra" wrote in message .net... Hi Maureen, Just add some dirt to the tub; make indentations for the tubers on top of the soil; place the tubers in the indentations; add more dirt - not too much though. You want them to be able to reach the top easily. You can also place a small flat rock on top of the tubers, if they don't stay planted. This is what I usually have to do ;-) snip I agree, my lotus are actually more sitting in some mud more then they are "planted". LOL. Nedra, this year I have 1 tubor in four feet of water in an 18 inch pot, and 4 tubors in 2 feet of water in a rectangle window box. The experiment begins. -- BV. www.iheartmypond.com

lotus tuber
Hi BV,
Sounds like the deck is stacked against the 18 inch pot... a good experiment. I think I'll bet on the ones that are 2 feet deep ;-) Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Benign Vanilla" wrote in message ...

Nedra - in your opinion what is the shallowest I can plant a lotus? I have
a boggy area separated from the pond by rocks but sharing the pond water. I can dig the dirt down about a foot before hitting the liner. Your thoughts??? Heather "Nedra" wrote in message nk.net...
