Talkback: Top 10 pond plants

UnknownUnknown
in Talkback
Excellent. Have already got a lot of these plants in my ponds. How do I get rid of murky water? Not an algae problem as this is not evident and I introduce an algae product to control this when it happens. Do I need more oxygenating plants and do they need to be in full sunlight?

    I am still unclear which two oxygenating plants will suit my small pond. They will be replacing a water feature . The pond will also have three goldfish and a resident frog in summer. Pleaase can you suggest suitable oxygenators which won't be too rampant. Thank you.

    Our new pond is a wildlife pond and has no fish.  It doesn't have a filter, we're using lots of oxygenating plants, principally UK native hornwort, water violet and frogbit.  We get them from here http://www.puddleplants.co.uk/oxygenator-floating-plants/ image
