These are neat! Wouldn't see the foam after a couple weeks of sunshine for many plants. And the fabric option could protect roots from fish that might eat them.

@MridulSinghMusic 3 года назад

Looking good! You can also attach the pool noodles to medium-large colanders and use those as hanging baskets

@joshszooofanimals5416 3 года назад

Great video like always 👌 👍 especially saving money lol, I saved a Painted Turtle yesterday on a busy highway uploaded the video today 😀

Make sure if you have fish too make sure chemical on these things are not toxic too fish . Landscape fabric has chemicals in it. Also wash off anything you put in your pond with the fish. Make sure the plants you use aren’t toxic too fish . Fish do eat the roots so you don’t want them eating poison

Brilliant hacks!! I love thinking "outside the box" for plant containers.... Dollar Tree is THE BOMB!!!

Nice! I bought mesh planters with a wide lip from an aquaponics store for around $3. I glued two ring layers of foam tiles under the lip, filled them with aquaponic media and bare root mint. They do great.

@twunderaquatics1770 3 года назад

Wish I could have seen this a couple months ago. I have five pond baskets. Creeping jenny, cardinal plant, ginger mint, chocolate mint, blood dock, and pitcher plants are the plants I used. Great idea. Liked

@TheNanoAquariumGuy 3 года назад

Thank you for the amazing idea, I was thinking about using pond safe foam on the edges of a plastic pot with some gravel, but one of my kid may be loosing one of her pool noodles today lol.

@littlemidwestrebornsdolls 3 года назад

Wonderful tips!!! Makes me wish I had an outdoor pond! I will save this for someday later. Who knows, I could have a place where I could put an out pond?

Hello, just came from Dollar Tree with a great back ground for my tanks. It’s in the Halloween section and it’s a sheet that is supposed to look like a stone wall. The pic on package makes it look as if it is brown when actually shades of grey. Still, when attached to tank back it is quite attractive. Wish I could post a pic here.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!This is exactly what I have been searching all morning for! I'm having a problem with my koi eating off the roots of my water hyacinths loose roots are clogging up my pumps so I've been trying to find a solution to keep the plants and the koi separated. You have just given me New Hope! Thanks so much!

Great tips...Thank you!...but I want to plants eadibles. Please can you tel me what type of edibles can I plant in my pond? Basil? Cilantro? Let me know...Thanks again!

@tudeanimation 2 года назад

Those are outstanding tips. Opening up my pond this weekend and I'm heading to the Dollar store!

@elkeschmitt623 2 года назад

my granddaughter hatched 10 ducklings=4/5 weeks old=we just let them in the pond and they demolished all of my water hyacinth=20 or more of them. So I am wondering if this would work. Thanks for the ideas.

@kalinystazvoruna8702 2 года назад

Love your channel! I went looking online for that large pool float from Dollar Tree and it's nowhere to be found. They only seemed to have pool noodles. I even went to various other sites like Walmart, Dollar General, Family Dollar.... zip, zilch, nothin'. :( Very disappointed as that large one would be perfect for me. Lots of noodle soup, Ramen noodles, pasta etc., but no pool noodle floats. :(

@mpwall123 3 года назад

Nice hack, with the boosters. I like the green too.Very fitting.

@Alw337 3 года назад

@deek2385 2 года назад

Would water lilies do well in a floating basket made with a large pool noodle and the weed block fabric? I tried planting them with loam soil and it was a disaster. Dirted the pond water in just a few hours. I was devastated. I love your videos and the saving money is the best!!! Thanks so much!!

@sandradolbel2578 3 года назад

My baby tut hates me 😔 It looks like it's going to die. What am I doing wrong? Are the roots not supposed to be submerged?

My pond has most indirect sunlight during the day, what’s the best plants for it?

@caroleinwv 3 года назад

Awesome! Perfect timing! My pond was just dug. 13 x 18. I use the dirt to partially surround to pond which I can fun scaping. You would love it! Waterfall? Just plants? Hmmm. My mind is racing!

@karac5337 3 года назад

Woot, thank you for this tip. It will come in handy for me this week. I went to Aquashella this weekend and came home with quite a few really nice plants from the Nocturnal Aquarist booth because I remembered this video. Anthuriums and english ivy. I'm not a big fan of plants in my filter. Also got their Green Man mini garden but that's not for my tank lol.

@red_hobbit3323 3 года назад

Nifty idea! Do the fish stay in the pond all year or just in the summer?

@accidentalgenius4654 Год назад

The one with the soil how do you keep the soil from falling in the water?

@headsortails1456 Год назад

wont that soil and fertiliser leak through into the water and kill the fish?

@markhunter2244 3 года назад

Excellent cost saving ideas, the cost of a pond can fairly go up with all the little extras 🤓

A older blind guy wanders into a ladies blond bar and asks the blond bartender if she wants to hear a dumb blond joke? The bartender explained that he was in a blond bar with thirty blonds all around him and asked if he wanted to continue? His answer not if I have to repeat it thirty times!

@lamkins2276 Год назад

I love these! I had a hard time arranging my pond plants last year as the cats liked to climb on them to get to the papyrus to snack on. I actually had no idea pond plants could float, and this will keep the cats off them. I’m also going to be tucking a potato vine I have growing out of my aquarium into a noodle slice. Right now it’s tied to the heater cord and looks pretty ugly.

@jodyh2077 2 года назад
