Planter rings for potted flowers?

[phillyofish]

I've seen youtube videos with potted flowers floating in a pond. anyone do this and what did they use? weedblock material? what kind of potting mix

I would think you would want to stick with pea gravel, kitty litter. I had a barley straw planter, with the plant in pea gravel it did well

Looks like the rock wool,

used for hydroponic growing medium. The water is what carries the food for the plants. If you look you can see the plants are in little cubes.

you figure there would have to be sufficient number of fish to provide the nutrients all those plants needed to grow. unless they were supplemented with some addtl fertilizer.

Well jw you are not supposed to smoke it! Just plant things in it lol, I have used it to get seeds started, it is great for hydroponics, no clue how it would do in a pond.
