Velda 20L Pond Soil - Aquatic Compost for Outdoor Pond Plants - Aquatic Soil with Nutrients for Submerged, Marginal & Floating Plants - for All Garden Ponds

Buying aquatic soil/compost is hit and miss...this is a hit. This is the proper stuff, dark black, dense. I line my planting containers and cover the surface with grit anyway, but it stays put, the plants feel firm when potted. The last aquatic soil I bought was terrible, like sand, the plants failed to grow, leaves yellowed and died. I'm confident that now they've been re-potted in this they will thrive, after gardening and looking after plants for many decades you get a feel for things. If I'm wrong I'll update this review, but feel confident its the good stuff. I would just like it to be cheaper, why is aquatic soil so much more expensive? Having said that 20L will likely last a few years, I'll repot all my pond plants in this now and keep the rest for the next re-potting session in a couple of years or so. Bottom line, if you want to buy aquatic soil/compost online, this is the one to get.

does what it says on the bag

My plans in my pond was in need of some kind of help, so being new to this kind of world of aquatic plants. I thought change and repot all the pond plans,it was not a big job as there are only 7 small of them.But because I always wanted to have a lilys in my pond as they look so beautiful I also brought a new lily I did the whole thing in one job. And I am happy with the result as I felt the plants was looking poorly I didn't know what it was but just hoped it was right for them and anyway I needed some new repotting pond earth to put for the new lily I brought. I now come back to give some good news just over a week passed and all my plant had come back as new in color and size. And my new lily taken a little longer only because she new but she hads started to show three tiny leaves and trying to reaching for the top of the water she's just a young teenager,but next year I am hopeful she will after go to sleep over winter and sit at the bottom of the pond and will have the first flower in summer to come. Am happy plants happy thankyou Amazon allways a quick delivery.

Very good soil for my pond plants

Really good quality

Well received, packaged very well no soil compost was loose.

Perfect!! Just the job! Originally bought Westland aquatic compost . Was reminiscent of builders sand. Thanks to another of the above reviews I decided to try this one. So am well pleased! Thank you!

Very expensive for what it is.

Mes plantes adorent.

Un peu cher, mais autrement, rien a redire

Très bon produit, mes plantes ont apprécié car elles ont bien reprises et se sont développées, je recommande

produit adapté pour plantes aquatiques

A peine ai-je mis mes plantes aquatiques dans leurs pots respectifs avec cette terre, que cette terre a relaché en surface énormément de petites particules qui a pollué mon eau. Eau qui était claire, je pouvais voir le fond jusqu'à ce que je mets cette terre, dès le lendemain, l'eau a commencé à devenir verte avec des micro-algues.
