pea gravel doesnt usually work, of course bare root will work in a veggie

water lilies dont do well in pea gravel, dont do all that well in veggie

otoh, I've had success with lilies in pea gravel (and bare root). I'd agree

happy.

How do you fertilize them bare root? That sounds like a good way to go
for my little barrels.
