Create your Wildlife Friendly Pond in a Trough in 3 easy steps
Setting up your Pond in a trough is effortless and can be done anywhere in your garden, however most of the flowers in the Wildlife Friendly set thrive best in the sun. The Pond in a trough is portable so you can move it around with no problem!
Step 1: Fill your placeholder pots about 2/3rds with the gravel provided. You can add or remove gravel later to raise or lower your plants so that they sit correctly in the water.
Step 2: Fill the trough with water to about 2/3rds of the way - you can adjust this again later as desired.
Step 3: Place your plants in the placehold pots and drop into the trough where desired. Try to keep the top of the pot just below the surface of the water with no more than 2 inches of the plant submerged.
You can then adjust the water level and the gravel in placeholder pots until you are happy.
NB: If you would like to have the water level even higher, you can prop up the pots further with anything that won't deteriorate in water i.e a brick or plastic pot.
