Planting Baskets

Planting BasketsIf you have a preformed pond, or one with a butyl liner, you will need something to plant into. You could use hessian possibly, or our preplanted coir products but failing that we offer these planters. These fine mesh planters are ideal insofar as you won't need to line them, but the mesh isn't so fine that it doesn't allow the flow of water through them. This allows oxygen and nutrients to get to the plants. Fill them with a low nutrient planting

Water forget-me-not (Myosotis scorpioides)

Sow in spring or late summer/autumn

Coir mats and plants for ponds

Soft rush (Juncus effusus)/Hard rush (Juncus inflexus)/Articulated rush (Juncus articulatus)

These fine mesh planters are ideal insofar as you won't need to line them

If you order 2 collections or more we will include a deeper water species too (see below)

Depending on seasonal availability this is usually Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum) or could be Crowfoot (Ranunculus aquatilis)

These 5cm thick coir mats and plants are wonderful for covering the unsightly edges of pond liners and kick starting a wildlife pond
