No plant shelves on your pond? No problem!How to create shade and interest with pond plants, without risk of the fish eating/digging up your plants too.These floating planters by PondXpert offer a unique solution. They are kept suspended on the surface by a polystyrene ring/square.

This food can be fed throughout the winter when the fish are active and will prevent the fish losing too much weight, which can then cause further problems in early Spring with underweight fish suffering from fungus and parasite problems.For th..
