When I was planting my pond, I was planning to use burlap in the plant
baskets. I was told not to because as it decomposes, little bits of the
fiber break off and the koi eat them. This kills the koi.
I don't know if there is any truth to this, but I decided not to use
burlap based on this recomendation.
