The Pond Guy Premium Planting Soil for Backyard Water Gardens & Patio Ponds, 4 Quarts

The Pond Guy Aquatic Planting Soil is the ultimate choice for achieving prolific growth and beautiful flowers in your water garden year after year. This nutrient-rich soil is suitable for lilies, lotus, and other aquatic plants, and it's all-natural, non-toxic, and safe for marine life and wildlife.

Packed with the vital nutrients pond plants need to thrive, the loamy composition of the soil traps oxygen while providing space to harbor beneficial microbe colonies. Free of compost and peat moss, this fine-grained soil won't float or cloud pond water, making it ideal for use in freshwater ponds, water gardens, koi ponds, and other water features.

Whether you're planting in a potting tub, container, bucket, or plant bag, the Pond Guy Aquatic Planting Soil is ready to use straight out of the bag or can be mixed with The Pond Guy Aquatic Planting Media (sold separately) for optimal results. We recommend using a 75/25 mix of the soil and media to ensure your aquatic plants receive the perfect balance of nutrients and support.

Aquatic soil is essential for all water garden and koi pond plants and flowers, including water lilies, water lotus, marginal plants, submerged plants, bog planting areas, and aquatic plant containers, pots, planters, or bags. The soil helps these plants grow strong foliage and vibrant flower blooms, while also providing a variety of benefits to the overall pond ecosystem.

Living pond plants play a crucial role in cleansing the water, filtering out organic debris and fish waste, and absorbing excess nutrients to prevent algae blooms. They also shade the water from sunlight, protecting fish and inhibiting further algae growth, while releasing valuable oxygen into the water. Adding an array of aquatic plants to your pond also attracts a diverse range of wildlife, including birds, insects, pollinators, and frogs.

For best results, we recommend adding fertilizer (plant food and nutrition) every two to four weeks during the growing season. For easy applications, you can buy your water gardening supplies in a kit with everything you need for your aquascape project.

In summary, The Pond Guy Aquatic Planting Soil is the perfect choice for your pond plant needs. It's 100% natural, non-toxic, and safe for all aquatic life, and it won't cloud or float in the water, ensuring a clean and healthy pond environment for your plants, fish, and wildlife to thrive.
