Aquascape 89002 Pond Plant Potting Media 10 Lbs for Pond Water Feature and Garden

This aquatic soil is great! I use it in my planted tanks and cap it with pool filter sand. My plants are growing beautifully in my tanks. You will need to sift out some of the bigger chunks if you plan to use it for the method I mentioned though

This was easier and nicer to use than plain dirt. Less odor, better seed and plant retention.

The soil is exactly as advertised. My only qualm is that I found it exceptionally difficult to guess how much I needed based on it being sold in cubic inches. As a result I was a bit astonished at how small these bags are, especially for the price. So for those having the same issue, I say this, the volume is roughly that of a two gallon jug of milk. I personally think it's more of a $15-$18 value based on volume. I struggled to see the value in $25 for these bags. But if money isn't a concern then it's a great product as advertised.

Works really well for my lotus. Nothing floats up from the pot, lotus seem to be growing. I did add fertilizer as there is so little decomposed material. Pours easily over clay marbles.

I got this to use with the Aquascape oval floating pond planter and as soon as I put the planter in the pond (with one small hosta lily in it) it sunk like a rock. Hard time getting it out because the pond soil had gotten SO HEAVY it was like pulling up a basket of bricks! The planter styrofoam in the planter got damaged pulling it out! I followed the instructions for both floating planter and soil. Seems like good, rich soil for marginal/edge plants but I would NOT have spent this much money for that use...I'd just use pea gravel. Very disappointed, but gave it 3 stars because I can use it for marginals.

Water gets a little murky at first, but eventually clears up when settled. No odor.

For Growing lotus Flowers this is the best!!

Works great

c'est parfait si fait correctement. je suggère fortement pour ne pas embrouiller l'eau de tasser l'eau en dehors du bassin en a rajoutant dans le pot qui contient la terre plusieurs fois dans la journée pour écraser la terre et garder l'eau de votre bassin propre. SI VOUS NE METTEZ PAS D'eau dans le pot en dehors du bassin plusieurs fois pour écraser la terre en dehors du bassin et faire en sorte que la terre s'écrase et se pacte alors lorsque vous mettrez le pot dans votre bassin l'eau deviendra toute brune et terreuse. j'ai appris de mes erreurs et je sais maintenant comment il faut faire

This is a great product, highly recommend

I'm about to use the soil for the lotus seeds that are sprouting. Quick service

Good

I have a balcony and wanted to have waterlilies... which I grew from seed and then needed to plant properly in a pond. So this was the perfect soil to make this happen and I was so relieved as I had put a lot of time and attention in germinating the seed, and once rooted, the planting. It was such fun. Yes, don't hesitate, this is perfect. I used small breathable bags to hold the soil and seed and allow the water to filter through, and the soul was the perfect compilation to work in water.
