Crushed Pea Gravel 10L Bag

Crushed Pea Gravel is available in a 1.5L Bag for $4.00.

Fine crushed pea gravel can be used as a top layer on aquatic plants and succulents, or as a gravel media layer in the bottom of ponds or aquariums. It contains a certain amount of clay so should be rinsed thoroughly before placing in ponds to avoid clouding the water.

Line the bottom of a plastic plant pot with newspaper to stop soil from flowing through the holes then hold the plant to be potted in position while you pour the potting mix in around it. Fill the pot to approximately 3-4 cm from the top and push down firmly. Push one fertiliser tablet per medium pot (two for large pots) into the soil near the plant roots. Spread a layer of riversand on the top, about one cm thick. This will stop the soil from discolouring the water. Spread a layer of gravel stones on top of the pot to stop your fish from digging up the soil.

IMPORTANT: Fully submerge the newly potted plant in a bucket of water or gently run the hose onto pot until water runs clear before placing it into the pond. This will stop discolouration of the pond water.
