Do you think it is too dense the way it is currently designed?

I'm not sure what type of hose to use. Any recomendations? I'll need a lot of hose so something cheap would be great. I'm thinking about using this Hose/tubing I'm thinking about drilling holes through the PVC and puting the hose in. The holes will be small such that it's a tight fit for the hose. Then I could apply glue around the hose.

Currently there are no weeds in the pond and our HOA controls the weeds. This is why I like this design...it will memmick the weeds but it wont be seen from above so the HOA wont care.


I want to grow 10 lb'ers!!!
