The planting sock, an ideal solution for preformed ponds

Do you have a preformed pool with gutters? It can be very complicated to add plants to it. There are solutions such as planting socks that will allow you to easily add plants to this type of "gutter".

Here is an example of a sock: plants stocks velda.

These are flexible and solid cultivation covers. Finely meshed, they serve as containers for aquatic plants and prevent the wild development of roots and leakage of the substrate into the water.

To add aquatic plants, it will be necessary to add aquatic soil , and then the plants to finish with a small cover of pebbles (ex: Limburgish ). The pebbles will make it possible to ballast the plants while they are developing, and above all to prevent the fish from removing the aquatic soil.

To garnish with plants and conceal the edges and curves of the pond. Cover the soil with a layer of gravel or pond substrate. Add aquatic plant fertilizer for good growth.
