Dear Mr. Kerr
Thanks for your email. The pond plants arrived safely today and they have all now been planted. I was very pleased with the plants which all looked very healthy and disease-free: all were well-packed and there was no damage in transit. I have followed your advice for the planting substrate in aquatic containers, using a good proportion of horticultural grit mixed with sieved topsoil: I think the plants will do well in that medium.
Although there is good information on your website, if all of the planting labels also had planting instructions/planting depth/growing information (some labels did have that info.), that would be a helpful reminder when you are actually in the pond in your waders trying to sort out a number of damp poly bags containing different species!
