I was going to comment on the first post but there's nothing to add here. I don't even understand how 6 floor mats tossed in a pond with zero foresight or research got the number of articles it did. Someone saw a post on Instagram and thought "we can put flowers in the pond!". "Because of algae"
Is there anything that can eat the algae? Nahhhh
Are the native bank or aquatic plants that will suck up the nitrates? Nahhhhh
Are there viable floating hydroponic systems growing plants suitable for hydroponics? Nahhhhhhhhh
Yes, this type of foam is used for docks, boats, sports, and more importantly... this is what the original papers used. All of the parts are rated for water, temperature, and UV resistance.
Unless you’re securing the sections together beyond the interlocking bits I’d expect to eventually run into a scenario where everything breaks apart too.
I didn't look very close at the growing medium, so the "spill" looked like deer poops and I imagined a deer was tricked onto water and literally all the shit was scared out of 'em when they fell in
Happy to see your garden was salvaged and improved, but a little sad that my deer theory wasn't accurate
You are lucky they are still small. Mine were so overgrown. 3+ in diameter stalks. 2ft coiled root balls of 6 or more plants. 12 of these setups in a row standing 20ft high. I dug out a 40ft x 5ft x 2ft portion of my lawn just to remove all the roots and reuse the space.
Lol, yeah, they had been trimming them, but leaving the vines in the fence for years. I had to go ham like that on some crepe myrtle the previous owners put in my yard. I had been trying to kill them with other methods for a few years but they just kept coming back, so I went at em with a shovel, my beater axe, and a tamping bar. I'm still finding shoots from runners I missed
i know it's crazy but at the bottom of the vine, in my viewer, it looks like there is a red dog with a black and white muzzle peeking in through the fence
