« on: June 18, 2008, 02:21:53 PM »

I dont have any floating plants to put in there. I used about 1/4 cup of osmacote in the very bottom of the pot like in your directions. I dont think I used straight cow manure it said it was composted and like I said it didnt have any kind of smell or anything.

Joyce I used your method of planting them but I didnt use as much osmacote as you suggested. I used composted cow manure (no smell except that of dirt and it was fully composted the bag said 0.05-0.05-0.05) and i havent done anything to the since . I dont know what could be wrong ???

I talk to my local pond lady today and she said if i cement my pond i would have to wait 2-3 years before i could put fish in. I was wondering if i cement my pond and do the venigar thing 2 times and paint it with a black coat of paint if i would be able to put fish in it this year ??
