Hi again can any one tell me how many oxygenated plants I need to buy for my small plastic wildlife pond its 120cm long 85cm wide and 35cm deep with 2 small shelves.
Two or three would be the ideal number little bee. They will grow in the coming months so you will have to keep an eye on them and if necessary thin them out if they become too invasive.
I have now g??t my pond in with 3 oxygenated plants on the bottom & 4 marginals on the 2 shelves the water looks really dirty can any tell me if this settles or will it always be that colour?
Thanks Edd not sure what that word was either lol & thanks for advice I am going out tomorrow to get some more plants that I can plant around the edge as the new border its in has no plants in it yet any advice what the best ones to get are I definitely would like some sort of grass like plant & are bog plants good?
Thanks dovefromabove & for link they look fantastic & just what I'm looking for I think they will look great at the back & will contrast with my garden wall.
Sounds like you have it spot on I have been out today & got my carex they look brill so thanks for that they look stunning can't wait for wildlife to come now to make it complete

I've got various carex for around our new pond - they're happy in dampish soil and are going to look great
