Plant in Loam Soil (this is topsoil with no organic compost added; stay away from bagged soil as it has a lot of compost that will rot in water. Much of the USA is covered in excellent loam soil, which is precisely what you should find under healthy turf/grass. If you live in an area of the USA without good loam, we offer PondGro Aquatic Loam Soil which you can add up to 40% sand to make the volume more once it arrives, but no higher than 40% sand, or the soil will not contain enough nutrients in the mix.
Winter Safe in Zones 9-12
Again, in-ground ponds with no liner prefer full sun. When planted, they are best anchored into the embankment soil just 6 to 10 inches below the waterline. Consider temporary fencing for 6 to 10 weeks when establishing in existing ponds with wildlife so that plants can get ahead of plant predators like raccoons, turtles, etc.
