PONDS
If you have a pond divide overgrown pond plants this weekend. Simply replant them in aquatic baskets filled with aquatic compost and top up with gravel. Irises, water lilies, rushes and reeds will all benefit from division.
If you have blanketweed on your pond, get a net and scoop as much as you can as it will prevent oxygen getting in if it stays there. You may also want to scoop out any remaining leaves from the autumn as they will clog the bottom of your pond if they are allowed to rot and this will ultimately affect the nutrient balance of your water.
For any of the above products of further advice call St Bridget Nurseries Aquatic Team today on 01392 876281.
