"We have Just planted 3 of your 900mm range of floater with busy lizzies and they are really beautiful!, a moorhen has also begun making a nest on one of the floaters, is this a first?, we will supply photos at a later date."

"We put busy lizzies and mimulus in our basket floaters and they gave us lots of colour through the summer,the mimulus survived the winter and are in full colour for the second year.I am very pleased and I am now going to order more basket floaters for my other ponds."

"We have just taken out our busy lizzies from our 900-09 floater.Another good colourful show - a huge amount of roots and not a trace of blanket weed in the roots. The floater looks a little twisted and a bit out of shape but we have washed it cleaned up the pots and put it back in the pond, with the sun now out it is already recovering to its original shape - by spring 2006 it will be ready to use again. It will stay in the pond all winter."

"Hi we have taken the last of our busy lizzies out. It took two of us to lift the floater (900-06) out as the busy lizzies had grown to about 30 inches tall and spread so that we could not see the floater.The roots again had no blanket weed. This floater was also twisted out of shape due to the spread and weight of the busy lizzies but we have washed it and put it back in the pond with empty pots and after a couple of weeks it will return to its original shape ready to use again.

"I have just planted 2 x 325mm floaters with busy lizzies. The busy lizzies were bought from a local garden centre I have taken 6 plants for each 200mm basket straight out of the polestyrene container and put them into the basket with no extra soil or chipping etc everything looks fine (as you suggested). I understand that I may need more plants & baskets floaters to get the balance right I will keep you informed of my progress. "

"The Busy Lizzies were doing quite well in my floater until the resident moorhens decided to build a second nest right in the middle of it! After being thoroughly trampled over the plants have recovered slightly and the moorhens seem to enjoy using it for daytime cruising!!"

"I purchased one 900-09 and one 900-06 and only planted busy lizzies -planted early May- I still have a good colourful display of flower and blanketweed has not been a problem this year."

"Good results of colour from busy lizzies planted in your floaters. My pond pump has not been clogged with blanketweed - is this a result of busy lizzies or the weather?"

"I am very pleased with my two 325mm floaters in my small pond. Three weeks ago I decided to cut the busy lizzies back level with the baskets as they had become untidy. New growth has started again and also flower buds have appeared.I have also noticed there is very little blanketweed in the oxygenator plant where I put the floaters. "

"This year's weather conditions or busy lizzies - but during July & August my blanketweed has reduced.It's a lot easier to take out fallen busy lizzies flowers than blanketweed. My pond is approx 10ft x 5ft and I have two 900-06 floaters. "

"This year our busy lizzies have not been very good as regards a lot of flowers. The root system has kept the blanket weed away but we have had a poor show of colour with the flowers. Some of the plants are ok but others are very poor and we have cut these plants back to the top of the basket - some new growth has now started . We will have to wait and see."

"After a poor start the busy lizzies have been a colourful success. The busy lizzies that we severely cut back to the top of the basket have found new life and have now grown into a colourful ball of flower, the ones we left have now recovered well and we cannot see which ones we cut and those we did not. We have had no problem with blanket weed."

"I purchased 2 x 325mm basket floaters early Jan 2007 for my new pond. I just could not wait to use them so on Jan 12. 2007. I planted them up with primroses, polyanthus and a euphorbia. To my amazement they are all still thriving giving me colour through winter. I can't wait to plant some busy lizzies - I will be ordering more basket floaters. My fish are all fine."
