RE: [APD] Fafard aquatic plant soil
I have used Hoffmans Aquatic Gardening Soil with great success in the
past. It is a "pond" product, but is great for aquariums. My crypts
and swords loved it.

"How to Plant Aquatic Plants
SOIL: All aquatic plants should be planted in a rich, clay loam or good
garden loam, provided there has not been a lot of compost, peat or sand
added, as the lighter materials will float. Most commercially bagged and
sterilized soil is not suitable for aquatic plants.The commercially
bagged soil that we recommend is Fafard Water Garden Soil. It has been
tested at our nursery and has proved to allow good development of water
lilies and aquatic plants. Granulated fertilizer, or well rotted cow or
horse manure can be added to the soil in the bottom half of the planting
container. Be aware that cow or horse manure can discolour the water and
encourage algae growth as it leaches into the water."

I have a bag of it here I'm about to try. I'm not going to bother
soaking it, it's already pretty wet in the bag. $10 bag from Connons
here in Ontario.
