hey when you can't feed your fish you can feed there fish in that game mogsie ,Yeh those flex tubes are great I bought 3 of them for molds for concrete stepping stones they were clearanced out at lowes for 2 dollars a piece if they had more I would have bought them too .

yeah they are great for planting pond plants in also with the handles on the side it is really easy to lift them out when needed,

What sort of pots are these and what do they look like?

 

[stroppy]

they must have strong roots stroppy, should be fine it is planted in one of those flexi tubs, like what you use on building sites for mixing in etc

thats a good idea ... i never thought of using those

nice mogsie, not sure I have ever seen those here, but have not looked for them either.

 

[mogsie]

yeah they are flexable rubber, i use the dark green ones or the black ones so they dont stand out so much in the pond and you can trim them down to size with a sharp blade depending on the depth of water you are putting them in ! very handy, i also use them when i am plastering, for mixing plaster, then if it goes hard in the tub just flex the sides in and it all comes out !

I have never seen them here before, will have to look harder. Thanks Mogsie.

I had some horsetail years ago, i let some get out of the pond and it took a long time to stop it and get rid of it
Any small piece of the root can put up a shoot
containers are a good idea
