Can I make a floating garden from styrofoam for my fish pond ?. Can I spray paint it w/ black non- toxic paint? What kind of soil — if any–can I put in the pot?

   It may get a bit heavy when you put soil in it, but worth a try….I would be very careful with paint though, I know here in Australia there is a pond paint than can be painted over concrete ponds so I’m sure you would have something wherever you are too. Test it first though, as it may dissolve or melt styrofoam.
   Sounds like a very interesting idea, and could look really good……..

   The water for soil would only use artificial soils nothing with any fertilizer at all take care to use artificial soils nothing with any fertilizer at all take care to leach into the water terrestrial plants will actually.
