pond

As some of you may know I'm moving to Ft. Worth soon and will live in a tuna can sized apartment. Therefore, I have to take as little stuff as possible, and since due to space constraints, I can't use round pots anyway, I have a bunch left over that I don't wanna throw away. This is what I have...

Hey guys, Back in the mid to late 1990's I heard from an old friend of mine in Virginia (USA) that he was going to sell his house and retire. He had a small pond in his property in which he had the Japanese (both Kyoto and Tokyo mixed) strains of Aldrovanda growing, and was going to be drained...

This is my mini bog that i finally got up and running. The wind has been just pounding the set up for a couple days. I had to cut out the 12 set flower stalks cause they were damaging the pitchers. Overall the set up size is nice cause it will be just small enough to move and store in my garage...

Hi All: Im thinking of buying one of those floating island plant holders from the local water garden shop for my pond. I was going to put some bladderworts in them. Has anyone tried this with bladderworts or anyother CP's????

Ok so I read through the other U. Inflata pages and I just got some strands and I still have some questions. Can I grow it in a small tank like U.gibba in distilled water...or does it require a tank with prey for it to eat in more of a pond set up.

I've been seeing a lot of bog gardens this year being posted on the forum. I finally decided to do one of my own. I took my pond liner, it was a water garden last year, and emptied it out. All my aquatic plants went into an 18 gallon Rubbermaid container. I cut holes in the liner about 3"...

I have recently have purchase one of the large black plastic round rigid pond liners to make into a mini bog. I currently have my collection in a large plastic pot that sits in a second lower pot that acts as the water reservoir. Is there any benefit of completely sealed pot --- versus...

I return from lurking with a whole string of questions, and a bit of a background story to help put this all in perspective (This is a MUST be done situation, not a "I just want to"). Oh and an apology for any unintentional ranting that may come up. My daughter, otherwise known as "The Tropical...

This moss grows around our pond, in the swamp-like areas. I was wondering what kind of moss it is and if it would be suitable to use in potting mixtures (dried or alive) Regards, C

Even though I still have a decent covering of snow on the ground here in Michigan at zone 5 I am plotting and planning for a carnivorous bog garden I would like to install this spring. I would like to outline my plan and intended plants and see if anyone else (especially if you are a zone 5...

yeah i know sacreligious on this site but here me out........looking to build a good sized bog and pond without CP's....the reason? 12 inches annual precip........hard to come up with enough water to do a good sized one with rain water as a primary source. so i plan on doing a smaller one for...

So, this is kind of silly, but I'm quite pleased with my resourcefulness. There's a retail development near my house that recently installed a bunch of landscaping (quite poorly, I might add.) Anyways, next to the heap of unplanted pots of shrubs, one of the stetches of grass was strewn with...

ok... so... I woke up sunday morning, looked out my window, to see a what i believe to be a blue heron, standing in my half whisky barrel pond w/ a goldfish tail sticking out of it's beak. This little bugger has obviously acclimated to hunting near houses and ornamental ponds for easy prey. I...

Saturday July 21, 2007 John Hummer had his tour at his residence. This was my 3rd year in a row attending the tour. I plan to keep attending as long as he is grateful enough to keep giving the tours. It is always spectacular. The weather could not have been better for a late July outing. Not...
