Managing Desirable Vegetation - 05/23/17 01:39 AM
I thought I would start this thread to help folks like me that have desirable vegetation they would like to manage. By manage I mean control the area the vegetation occupies and use it to the best advantage as a pond management tool. Anybody that has a question along this line please feel free to post it on this thread.
To start things off, my first question is how to manage American Pond Weed. I have some that I really like but I also don't want it taking over the pond. Besides mechanical removal...is there a contact herbicide that I can use to spot treat areas without wiping out the entire patch? Would spraying select floating leaves on the perimeter of the patch with a pond safe glyphosate like AquaNeat be ok? What's the best way to move some to another area of the pond?
