This Spring/Summer we've had unusual clarity [96"+] and the FA, Horned and American pondweed has responded in kind with a mega boom. I'm raking out dead, floating FA every time out at the pond and collecting it in a pile. When dried, I think it will make a great potting soil additive. As Al says, though, it shrinks up to nearly nothing when fully dried - but due to the sheer volume I'd say I have nearly 1 cyd by now - and that's just the FA!
