The kits are a simple to use and install set eliminating the extra work needed to include attractive and beneficial plants to a pond environment. Different plants thrive in different sections of the pond and these Waterplants are designed to sit between Zone 2 and 3. To make an effective pond, the planting can be divided into Zones Zone 1 - Marginal plants - these can be planted in normal garden soil and can surround the pond edge to create attractive edging. Zone 2 - Marsh or Bog plants - these can sit in varying depths from 0 -15cm under water as the plant roots only need a small amount of water coverage. Zone 3 - Water Plants - these plants can sit in between 0 - 40cm and need planting much deeper underwater Zone 4 - Water lilies. The lilies are normally planted in baskets at the base of a pond and can create shade with their leaves Zone 5 - Oxygenators - plants that help with the overall aeration of the pond Zone 6 - Surface Floaters - these are not planted and absorb nutrients from the water.
