Pond Chat / Re: Best tree in pond? Need advice.

Hypertufa- look it up - it is awesome and you could make some neat limbs and they would weigh a lot less than cement and would be cheap to make also look neat / people use this for fountains and such although you would want to soak it before putting it in your pond, my sister and I enjoy making hypertufa anyone can do it...

Pond Chat / best place to buy / get water plants?

« on: May 10, 2011, 06:43:49 PM »

I live in SW IA and can't seem to find any water hyacinths unless I drive 60 miles 120 mile round trip... Has anyone ever ordered plants or got them in the mail? I have a pond that is approx. 8'x15'x3' - 2 yrs ago my daughter put 2 goldfish in it well now there is probably 30 fish in there... last summer at a yard sale a lady gave me some hyacinths and i just loved them... I dont want to pay an arm and a leg for a plant. if I bring home one plant will all those fish destroy it? I could sure use some advice. thanks
