I then cut out the centre and hemmed it round with more fishing line. Into this I planted two Typha Angustifolia plants. I then covered the exposed soil with gravel and lowered the lot into the pond.

I have placed a number of these sacks containing marginals around the pond and hopefully they will give good shows in years to come.

Mistake: Within 6 months the sacking had rotted, and had become useless.

I now have a rot proof solution.
