The wood is crazy heavy. I was told the bench and back came from a old sugar mill.

Wait, you have to fertilize water lilies? Mine bloomed for one day then closed up and the bloom died. Here is my water fountain, birdbath and pond. Dog and bird for scale....

You don't have to. I do because they produce bigger and longer-lasting pads.
I just ordered some fertilizer. My water lilies don’t look happy. Just a few leaves floating in the water on 2 of them. I also wonder if they don’t get enough sun. My area is under very large trees and gets dappled sunlight. Very pretty but I wish I could cut some down. I live in the city so it’s my little private oasis, pretty sure someone would notice if I cut down my trees;)
