How to Build a Floating Plant Island

[@berkerking2716]

Thank you for making this video! I saw it a few years back and me and my friends from school built up a life size replica and launched it for KCMO water and now I’ve actually made a difference for the better in the world. Thank you!

how good are you guys ...thank you

[@LelaE34]

Loved the ideas and thank you so much for updating the video.

Love the idea but, what keeps the rootball and even the plant for that matter from rotting? Seems to me the plant would rot away by being constantly soaked?

[@mightyjo3young]

You should do a quick search for hydroponics. Don’t know what all is involved but I know plants are grown directly in water. Probably similar to here.

Do you cut/trim the edges of the fencing?

Would love to see an updated video of these islands

[@guidoverburg2846]

These look really good, thanks for posting! You mention you are making them for ponds. Do you think they would work on bigger waters with more waves and boat traffic, such as canals, lakes and rivers? Are the structures strong enough for that? And what if water birds try to nest on them? Hope to hear from you, thanks again for sharing these ideas.

Would this method work for large lakes?

[@stableseeds4899]

use fat pool noodles to stuff the tube. cut them down the middle the wrap two small ones together. cap the end with spray foam

[@jsunshinejull]

Why bother stuffing the tube with plastic bottles? You've sealed it. It's PVC. It's water and air tight. I do like the innovation of the idea, but the pile-on of plastic is unnecessary.

[@Samuel-sw9dn]

Their thinking may have been seals fail, leaks happen and used plastic bottles exist so may as well put some preexisting used plastic bottles to good use.

[@kencollins4842]

To be frank these structures look like trash. Too much plastic. Rutgers has a better-floating wetland design
