Contour Finofil Aquatic Plant Basket - 8 Litre

    Description

    This 8 litre contour aquatic basket is designed for pond margins and curved planting areas where standard round or square baskets can be awkward to position. The elongated shape helps the basket follow the line of the pond edge, making it easier to build continuous, natural-looking planting along shelves, corners, and irregular margins.

    The fine mesh construction retains aquatic compost while allowing water movement through the basket sides, supporting healthy root conditions even in a larger container.

    Why choose a contour basket?
    Contour baskets are particularly useful when:

    • shelves are narrow or irregular, and you want a basket that sits securely without overhanging
    • you are planting along a curved edge and want a shape that follows the margin
      you want to reduce gaps between baskets to create a more continuous planted edge
    • you want to use a single large pot to contain a mixture of marginal plants

    Why choose an 8 litre basket?
    An 8 litre basket provides substantial compost volume and stability for more established planting positions. The larger capacity supports sustained growth and can reduce how often plants need repotting, while the elongated footprint spreads weight along the shelf for secure placement.

    For vigorous plants, division and compost refresh remain important for long-term health, regardless of basket size.

      • Top with washed gravel across the full surface
      • Lower into the pond slowly and seat the basket so it follows the shelf or margin securely.
      Care Instructions
      • Because the basket is long, support it at more than one point when lifting to prevent flexing
      • Check the gravel cap along the full length after positioning, and top up where needed to keep compost fully covered.
      Growers Tips
      • Contour baskets are ideal for creating a continuous planted edge
      • Consider spacing and access before placing permanently, as longer baskets can be harder to lift once fully planted
      • Use gravel generously to prevent compost movement along the length
      • You can create dense planting area if needed by nesting the baskets together
      Wildlife Tips
      • Continuous marginal planting creates strong edge habitat for amphibians and aquatic insects
      • Keeping compost contained helps protect water clarity and supports a healthier pond ecosystem overall
      Ordering, Shipping, Tracking and Returns
      Ordering & delivery


      Some products are ready for immediate dispatch, while others are sold for a later delivery period so that they can reach you in good condition and at the right point in the growing season.

      The expected delivery period for the product or variant you choose will be shown below the Add to basket button and again in the basket and checkout.

      30 litre plants and some larger items are sent by specialist pallet delivery rather than standard parcel.

      If your order contains products with different delivery timings, it may be split into more than one shipment. Plants or products that are ready for immediate dispatch will normally be sent first, while later-season plants will be sent when they are ready. This helps us send live plants at the appropriate point in the season and in suitable condition to travel.

      For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.

      Returns & problems on arrival

      Because we sell live aquatic plants and molluscs, some parts of our policy work differently from standard retail.

      Live plants and molluscs are perishable and are not suitable for routine returns once they have been prepared for dispatch.

      If there is a genuine issue on arrival, please contact us within 24 hours using the form on our Contact page, with your order number, photographs, and a short explanation.

      We will always review genuine issues carefully and fairly. Depending on the circumstances, the appropriate remedy may include a replacement, refund, or partial refund where appropriate.
