{"product_id":"floating-pond-planting-basket-deep-mesh","title":"Floating Pond Basket – Mesh","description":"\u003cp\u003eA floating planting basket gives pond plants their own protected growing space without needing a shelf or fixed pot. This black circular design combines a buoyant outer ring with a deeper mesh pocket suspended below the water surface, so roots can access pond water while the planting area stays together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a useful option for large outdoor Koi ponds, water gardens and dams where you want greenery without planting directly into the pond bed. The submerged pocket can help reduce disturbance from curious fish, although very large Koi may still push or damage an unsecured basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition the floating ring in a sheltered part of the pond away from strong suction or spillways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a plant and growing method suited to the mesh pocket; the right planting medium depends on the species and the basket's buoyancy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnchor the ring if wind, currents or fish movement could move it into equipment or an overflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the mesh, attachment points and flotation regularly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the deeper hanging-pocket style basket, not our separate flat floating Koi plant-protection net. It is not a child-safety cover or a substitute for pond filtration. Do not fill the basket with a heavy volume of gravel or LECA without first checking the loaded buoyancy and capacity. Plants and growing media are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The pond scene and basket images are illustrative renders based on the supplied product photos; fabric finish, rim details and dimensions may vary.
