These Baskets are sturdy and durable. They are constructed to allow maximum water flow through root systems of pond plants, while preventing fish from grazing on root systems.

Laguna Lily Tubs are ideal for planting lilies, lotus or groupings of bog plants. These tubs contain no holes and their depth provides a lot of room for tropical and/or hardy lilies to expand.

Laguna floating plant baskets are ideal for ponds that don't have adequate plant shelves. The buoyant styrofoam float ensures that the basket stays at the surface, while the finely-woven fabric bags allow water in while also preventing soil from escaping. The floating baskets also provide additional shade and protection for fish.

Summit Barley Straw Planters work improving water quality in several ways. The natural decomposition of the straw in the water helps to keep water quality pristine. This is accomplished by a natural reaction between the humic acids in the straw from decomposition, sunlight and oxygen. These elements combine to create a condition which keeps water clear. Barley straw promotes healthy populations of invertebrate life that consume harmful contaminates. These tiny creatures are important to the food chain in the pond. All these processes combine to produce a clearer, healthier and long lasting pond environment.

Potted aquatic plants like water lilies, iris, and many other pond plants are grown in containers within the pond. Potted plants need to be divided and repotted every one to two years to keep the plants vigorous and blooming. Heavy clay soil, free of loose organic matter and pesticides is used by professional pond plant growers. Unfortunately high-quality soil suitable for use with aquatic plants is not readily available to the majority of water gardeners. All commercially available potting soils contain combinations of sand, composted organic matter, peat moss, vermiculite, and even fertilizer and wetting agents. Using these types of soils in a pond leads to disastrous results. The loose fluffy soil floats in the water. The added fertilizers leach into the water and stimulate algae growth.

Aquatic Planting Media is an aquatic plant soil comprised of a unique blend of natural minerals, including zeolite, which provides a clean, easy to use planting media for water gardeners. Aquatic Planting Media securely holds the plants in the pot so plants can form a strong root system. With the addition of zeolite, Aquatic Planting Media has the added benefit of high Nutrient Holding Capacity. Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral having a honeycomb-like layered crystal structure. The zeolite acts as a reservoir for nutrients which are slowly released as needed by the plant. Aquatic Planting Media helps plants grow by trapping and holding nutrients from aquatic fertilizer tablets that otherwise could leach into the pond. Aquatic Planting Media will also remove nutrients from the pond water, concentrating them in the root zone for uptake by the plants. Aquatic Planting Media is recommended for all potted aquatic plants such as water lilies, lotus, iris as well as bog plants. Aquatic Planting Media will not change pH or color the pond water.

For Potted Plants:

Remove the plant from the pond. Make a small hole in the soil (near the root mass or crown) with your finger or a blunt object with a minimum depth of 4". Add one scoop of fertilizer, push the soil around the hole and repostion the plant.

For Plants in planting pockets:

In the spring or during a clean out when the water level is low, make a small hole hole in the soil (near the root mass or crown) with your finger or a blunt object with a minimum depth of 4". Add one scoop of fertilizer, push the soil around the hole and recover with rocks.

If fertilizer needs to be added during the season or if the water level cannot be lowered, wrap a scoop of fertilizer with a coffee filter or paper towel and push into the hole you created.
