Beautify
and add interest to your pond or water garden Thick
with green growth and with the colorful spark of flowers a small floating Island
will be an enchanting addition to any waterscape. Islands can be small enough
for a water garden or large enough to help clean larger water ponds. There are
no hard and fast rules of what size island to add; go with the number of islands
that looks best! Attaching several islands together can look stunning in a backyard
pond!
Natural
improvement of water quality Beyond being beautiful
flourishing gardens that float in your pond floating Islands can be an effective
tool in maintaining the health of water gardens and ponds. The island itself is
constructed of a patented combination of materials that encourage the stabilization
and efficient growth of plants and vegetation.
The plant root structures
that grow through the floating island's substrate feed on nutrients in the pond.
Since these nutrients often lead to algae, cloudy water or mucky buildup a floating
island becomes a natural water filter, one that is not only natural and highly
effective, but also extremely beautiful.
The roots and bio-film that grows
on the bottom of the island are a tasty food for fish and the larger sized Islandscapes
often become home to trutles and visiting waterfowl.
New
Pocket Design Create a grassy turf island or cover your Islandscape
with beautiful flowers - the new mini pocket design offers even more possibilities
for you to use creative planting techniques.
Leave the pockes in the island
for turf and seed configurations or pop them out and voila - a perfect planting
hole for your plants!
The unique matrix material of the island, a unique
blend of re-cycled polyester fibres, actually allows plants to grow as if they
were in rich soil. The roots of the plants absord nutrients directly from the
pond, reducing the phosphates and other nutrients in the pond while flourishing
plants bloom on the floating island.
The
small islands can provide shelter and nesting areas for birds, turtles and other
pond creatures as well as shade and hiding places for fish underneath them!
Your
Islandscape comes in a single box with a handle on the inner sleeve and contains
the island, the growing media (special soil mixture), the teher ring for anchoring
the island and complete planting instructions.
Recommended
Plant Species Islandscapes can grow almost anything - use your imagination
and let your passion dictate your planting! Herb gardens, terrestrial flowers,
shrubs and trees have all been grown on these incredible islands. Nourished by
a steady supply of fresh water, bare plant roots are planted directly into specially
prepared Islandscape Soil Blend, enough of which is Included with every island.
As for choosing plants, there are now hard and fast rules, indigenous plants work
well but so do a wide variety of species including the following:
Marginal
Species: Willows - Cattails - Horsetail - Water Celery - Bluebells
Edible
Species: Lettuce - Strawberry - Snap Peas- Zinnia - Basil
Ornamental
Species: Amaryllis - African Violet - Water Iris ... any many more; experiment
and have fun!

ISLANDSCAPE FLOATING ISLANDS
By
adding a floating island and a combination of aeration and beneficial bacteria
to the same pond or lake you can see dramatic improvements in pond water quality.
Islands are ideal for municipalities or in commercial applications where harsh
chemicals are not an option but a water treatment program is required.
Freedom
Islandscapes Floating Islands are
on the cutting edge of water quality maintenance and pond beautification and are
now available through CanadianPond.ca Products Limited. The floating islands use
the basic principles of hydroponics to clean ponds via the filtration effects
that plants offer. BioHaven floating islands are available in sizes ranging from
25 square feet for small koi ponds and water gardens with standard sizes up to
250 square feet. Islands can be attached together to create larger areas.
Root
structures penetrate the materials of the floating island and absorb surplus nutrients
from the pond or ecosystem providing a natural cleansing of the pond. Islandscapes
Floating Islands use patented materials and designs, making them the only choice
for any serious pond owner wanting to add a small island to help clean the pond
and provide the enjoyment of gardening. Islands can be attached together to create
larger areas and interesting "island chains".
Beautify
and add interest to the waterscape Thick with green
growth and with the colorful spark of flowers a Floating Island will be an enchanting
addition to any waterscape. Islands can be small enough for a water garden or
large enough to help clean larger water bodies. The pond cleaning powers of the
island are increased with aeration systems and bio-augmentation. This
photo shows an incredible congregation of fish grouped under the floating
island.

Floating
islands overcome many of the disadvantages and limitations of current biotechnology
for natural water purification. By providing an expandable biological process
to include wetland plants perched in artificial substrate, add-on super airlift
biofilters, add-on subsurface aeration and a regimen of microbial supplements,
the technology efficiently and effectively breaks down aquatic pollutants in ponds.
Built
of recycled polymer matrix bonded with marine foam, the Islandscape Floating Island creates
a super-enhanced floating habitat. Water can circulate through the body of the
island and plant roots can grow through it. Compared
to earthen islands, the BioHaven Wild Floating Islands are lighter, easier and
less expensive to install, allow plants to establish faster, and can extend the
growing season.
