- Floating Plant Islands are a great way to add beauty, habitat, and additional water quality treatment to your pond. They are particularly good if you don't have a lot of shallow area to plant. John and Jennifer from Hillsborough County Environmental Services show you how to build two types of floating islands.

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
Thank you so much for updating the video great job keep up the good work
Loved the ideas and thank you so much for updating the video.
Would love to see an updated video of these islands
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
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.
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?
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.
Would this method work for large lakes?
Do you cut/trim the edges of the fencing?
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.
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.
To be frank these structures look like trash. Too much plastic. Rutgers has a better-floating wetland design
Any other minecraft players?
