Moss.... A natural for any shady area including waterfeatures.

 

Easy to use

Just add a few cups of water to a bucket, stir in contents of carton and let stand for ten minutes. 

 

Now find a shady area and spread this gel-like past over any firm surface such as bare soil, stone, wood, or weathered concrete.  Each small moss fragment can grow into a new moss plant, which then grows together over time.  Alternatively, simply sprinkle the dry moss ingredients directly onto a bare soil surface and then water. 

 

Moss is ideal for:

* Rock/Water Gardens

* Patios and Walkways

* Naturalized areas

* Japanese Gardens 


Hughes also carries live moss plants in a bag.  You just add water.

Tinkerbelle's

Pond Tips for Early Spring tinkerbelle

 

Below are some tips for February & March to help make your pond season easy.  

 

*  Remove any debris that has collected in the pond over the winter with a net or add Microbe-Lift's product Sludge Away.

 

*  Remove string algae growing on the rocks, side walls & waterfall areas. GreenClean granular algaecide can help with this.

* Clean out and start up pumps.

*  Set up bio-filters.  Rinse out filter pads/bio media and add a live bacterial culture to restart biological activity. 

*  Gradually begin feeding your fish when the daytime water temperatures stay at 50 degrees and fish are actively searching for food. Use a spring/fall fishfood formula only at first.

*  Turn on UV light.  Replace bulb (Yearly).

*  Trim plant foliage in and around the pond.

*  Divide, repot and fertilize plants as needed.

*  Begin feeding plants with aquatic fertilizer once new growth appears.
