Title: Looking for pond plants - can swap for pork (Mid-Wales)
Post by: GribinIsaf on February 11, 2017, 09:31:01 pm
We have made a large wildlife pond and are wanting to establish some native plant life.  If you have a pond with plants getting too big which you would like to split we can give them a new home.  We have more pork in our freezer than we can eat in a year so you would be welcome to some.

We are in Montgomeryshire and would be willing to travel twenty-five miles or so.

Many thanks

Be careful you don't also buy in undesirables clinging to the plants you want.  The tiniest piece of some species can cover the entire surface of your pond in a year and smother everything else.

We're in NE Herefordshire and have several native pond species plus Flag Iris.  You're welcome to call in for some if you're over this way later in the year, when the pond is likely to be low enough to haul out the roots.

Many thanks for that offer Marches Farmer.  We will make a note of it and be in touch if we are coming your way later in the year.
