DIY Floating Planters for my Backyard Pond

Using items around the house, I made some floating baskets, islands and containers to keep my aquatic plant roots in tack so my Koi cannot snack on them, I was also able to contain my floating plants and keep them from going into the skimmer and clogging up the works.

Use pipe insulation. It's already slit to slip over the pipe, is black and has self-adhesive strips so you don't need zip ties. And....you only need two sides of the pot, not 4.

Hi Suzy, your video popped up today, I’m watching again. I have made a few baskets, 4 water lily protectors, a long poolside hyacinth float. I liked seeing you giant pennywort. I have some in the bog. Was going to toss them. But can add to a basket. It’s been getting hotter here south LA already. I need to vacuum the pool so badly. Just putting it off with humidity & mosquitoes. I need to move the lily/ net protectors to fertilize and rearrange things. I hope you are doing well ! Cindy

Thank you for helping me out with this project! How do you keep your pond water so clear? My pond is under full sun, I have a skimmer and waterfall with a pump rated for over 1000gph, 2 aerators, water hyacinths, lilies and water lettuce but my pond is still green due to algae bloom.
