any ideas for pond plants that sit in the water and are tall grasses that prefer shade all the time?
Any of the plants listed above will do fine. I was going to suggest just what you are thinking about.micaaronfl76 said:thanks guys for the reply, it looks good from far away but once u get close you can see where the uv filter is and the gap between the deck. i was thinking of doing a long plastic planter box from home depot. i would like to keep the box mostly underwater so with that being said any suggestions on plants?
Bricks are fine.micaaronfl76 said:i was also going to prop the box up with bricks, is that ok to do?
@ waterbug which kind of dirt should I use? is there something from home depot i can use?
Couple of ways to go. No soil media like pea gravel, crushed stone, kitty little. Rinse it off first to get the dust off. This type of media work good for almost fully submerged or submerged pots because the types of plants that can take their crowns in or almost in water are true marginals (pond plants) and they do fine in that can of media.micaaronfl76 said:@ waterbug which kind of dirt should I use? is there something from home depot i can use?
