Pond Bottom
The pond bottom is the nutrient medium of your pond. It plays an important role in a natural and stable balance in your pond. It is therefore logical that you want to pay attention to this. On the one hand, the nutrient medium is important for the development of microorganisms; on the other hand, the pond floor should contain sufficient nutrients for optimal and constant growth of pond plants.
TIP! from Velda
Never use fertilized garden soil in your pond. This is because the high concentration of nutrients will cause an explosion of algae growth. Therefore, always use special pond substrate!
When building your pond, it is important that the bottom is already built up. Do this before filling the pond. Installing, for example, a pond pump or fountain is then a lot easier. Setting up the pond bottom with gravel on the bottom is a common solution but always use washed gravel for this. Applying pond soil in the pond provides a good nutrient soil for the plants in the pond. Never use fertilized garden soil in the pond. The high concentration of nutrients will cause an explosion of algae growth. Always use pond substrate for this purpose.
Pond substrate for the pond bottom
Pond substrate is a specially developed for the pond bottom. The substrate has an open structure and a large internal surface area. As a result, maximum growth of microorganisms is obtained. Furthermore, a sophisticated composition with minerals and trace elements guarantees a powerful and constant growth of water lilies and marsh plants. Ponds furnished with this pond substrate have a faster development of the biological balance and ultimately a clear pond.
