Description
Pond substrate, the most important foundation for the pond
These porous stone granules are very important to create a stable pond environment. In the substrate, bacteria can develop that are important for keeping the pond water clear. Also, the layer of substrate creates a stable soil to which plants can attach.
Substrate, a must for the natural pond
Thanks in part to the substrate, the pond can be balanced and filters and pumps are not needed to keep the water clear.
Simons advice for pond substrate
Apply a layer of substrate of about 8 - 10 cm, which is about 2 bags per square meter for an average pond.
Follow our step-by-step plan for a virtually maintenance-free pond.
- Nadat uw vijver is gegraven is en de folie gelegd (of een kant en klare bank is geïnstalleerd) is het tijd om de vijver in te richten.
- Provide a layer of Waterworld pond substrate. This porous rock should be applied in a layer of about 8 to 10 centimeters to the bottom of your pond. We recommend 2 bags of substrate per square meter. This substrate is the foundation of your pond. Do not skimp on this! This soil ensure that your pump and filter less often need to be cleaned by that they are hardly loaded. Your substrate soil is in fact a large filter.
- Put plenty of water lilies in the pond. These water lilies provide shelter for your fish. The water lily leaves also keep out the sun so the water is less warm and there will be less algae growth.
- Sufficient oxygen plants are very important for balance, clear water and shelter for marine life. Oxygen plants also block out the sun. Many oxygen plants will take root in the substrate and will absorb silt and use it as nutrition which will help these plants grow well. Our recommendation is 5 plants per 1,000 gallons of water.
- Marsh plants with a good root system will filter the water and also reduce waste products in the water. We have selected the right species for you. Through our experience we know exactly which plants are best and also hardy. Our advice is 4 plants per square meter.
- Floating plants is are the last plants to block the sun. These are mostly decorative as well.
- Bacteria should be added to a new pond to start. If you have an existing pond, you should in the spring also start. Our advice is 2 Clearzyme Block per 1000 liters of water to use.
Het resultaat, helder water, biologisch evenwicht zullen er voor zorgen dat u optimaal kunt genieten!

Swamp full of aquatic plants
Thanks to Simon Van der Velde I have a nice clean swamp full of water plants again! (Finally free of annoying algae...) Clear advice, fast delivery, and : a passionate honest nature loving grower with one goal : to find the best solution !
Jo
My pond is a small world full of biodiversity.
I bought a water lily, oxygen plants and some more aquatic greenery for my mini toad pool in a specimen tub. The water stays beautifully clear and the aquatic plants grow like cabbage. Sometimes damselflies dance above the tiny lilies. A climate-proof mini-oasis for our dry summers!
Marja

Goed laten adviseren door Simon, hij verteld je gewoon precies wat je nodig hebt en wat wél en niet werkt. Erg persoonlijke goede service en iemand die even de tijd voor je neemt. Lees meer

How beautiful!
Super fast delivery. The price-quality is really quite good. A complete package with a clear description. This simply cannot fail. Already within a few days the first leaves of the water lily were visible on the water surface. Here I order so again!!!
