How much sun do the typical veggie filter plants need?
I am contemplating moving my veggie filter to the other side of a path from my pond. This will allow me to have a large open span of main pond water and not compromise my "pond" with "filter". This way I can also have the pond span a path and build a nice bridge. My problem is that the veggie filter will then be backed up to a fence on the south side. I am worried it won't get enough sun. For years we had a wild flower garden there, and we have some bushes surrounding the area that have always done well, so it gets enough sun for those. Any thoughts? -- BenignVanilla tibetanbeefgarden.com x-no-archive: yes Remove MY SPLEEN to email me. |

I don't think they'd need as much direct sunlight as flowering plants. Remember this when purchasing your filtering plants. -- Bonnie NJ http://hpphoto.com/home/ViewMyAlbum.asp?coll_id=876614 |
