Here are the two containers I could put in the pond. The white one can be cut up. I think I'll use this one. On the right is a plastic tub that has a crack in it and so unusable to hold water any more. My pond depth is about 22 inches when water is full brim. I'm going to use the ordinary soil I have. I don't know if any fertilizer tabs that I read here is available locally. I'm also thinking twice on using cowdung as earlier[in my old pond, for water lily] it did affect water quality as you mentioned. Let's see how it does in ordinary soil. The container did not hold any chemical or oil. It has been kept unused for many years until I used it as a rainwater first filter and it has passed out hundreds of gallons of rainwater. So I think that will be safe. I'm going to halve it. Is that okay? Also, how many lotus seeds can I grow in my pond? Is my plan suit the situation? Hope you have seen the picture of my pond with water lilies in my other thread that is still on top.
