[Worldwide Koi Club] Pond plants
I don’t have a problem with them eating the water lilies (they do nibble but only a little), the problem I have is that they soon root all the soil out of the lily tubs. I had to cover the soil with flat stones leaving cracks between for the lilies to come out. That seems to have solved the problem.
