Are you referring to planted floating islands? If so, Google "how to build a planted floating island" Lots of ideas!

John Monroe made one a few years back. Maybe someone can find that thread.

We are going to build one from black 4" drain tile with some netting and rockwool insulation. I have it up in my brain case how. Will take some pictures as we build it.
Cheers Don.

For a five foot island, join dark toned hosepipe to make 5' hoop. Drape black mesh how you like and pin it to hoop, set buoyant aquatic plants within to mesh together. Parrots feather, aquatic iris, water hyacinth would make a pleasant combination, easy to control
