Fertilizing aquatic plants

If you have not yet fertilized your water lilies, now is the time. Use aquatic plant tabs and push them into the soil. Use one tab for each gallon of soil. If your lily pads have not yet reached the surface, wait until they do.
I do not fertilize other aquatics. The fish waste seems to do a fine job of that. The plants leap from their pots as it is. With fertilizer, they would be camping on my front porch.

SHIPPING:

Many of you buy pond products from me. I have the shipping costs linked directly to UPS, so I do not control shipping costs at all. I know shipping costs are sky high and I don't like it either. Product costs also suffered a hefty rise in price last week, something else I cannot control. Just as the cost of groceries is rising, the cost of having a pond is rising. I wish that were not the case, but it is.

You can see an entire catalog of my pond articles at Backyard ponds with the pondlady
You can probably find answers to your pond questions in one of them.

I have a new project just started for writers or wannabe writers. Have a look at xiffi Stop by, join and have a look around. If you have a submission, send us your submission and we will publish it.
