How to Make Koi Spawning Beds

Gather Moss

Spanish Moss is abundant here in Florida. I recently read that Spanish Moss makes good grass beds for spawning. I removed the moss from a tree using a fruit picker.

Weaving the Moss

I wove one end of a bunch of Spanish Moss into the sides of mini crates.

Sinking the Basket

After completing the weaving all around the crate, I placed a heavy broken piece of concrete in the basket and placed it in the koi pool. It readily sank to the bottom and the moss floated toward the top.

Finished!

Let the spawning begin!
