Got them in my pond. Will try and get a picture but waiting for soil to settle - i got a little too much in the pond but it is the aquatic stuff so hopefully it will be ok! |
Nice one, glad you got on as well with puddle plants as I did. As for the soil - I did that too with some aquatic compost, I think it was OK in the end once the extra nutrients got used up.
Kayleigh, as for the canadian pondweed - I used to have it in an old pond that leaked - it was invasive. Yep, the newts didn't mind it too much in mine too. But it's not the fact that it's in your pond that's the problem (even if it's invasive, you can cut it back) - it could spread to other, larger water bodies in the area where it could become far more of a problem. That's not a risk I want to be taking when I could just as easily buy some nice, native Hornwort. I have seen canals and waterways choked in canadian pondweed. I doubt that some of the leading bodies on the natural world would be discouraging it's purchase for no reason - go tell them it's rubbish.
