Question #2: Is APW easy to control or does it take a lot of work or chemicals? I like plants that do not get out of control quickly. I have had my fill of submerged plants like coontail and sago pondweed.....they are tough to get under control if you aren't paying attention for a few weeks....they grow and spread way too fast.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated. thanks. BM61.


Others are far more expert on APW than I am, but I can say that it seems to spread rather slowly in my BOW.
