Anthropic - I will concur on the pond plant issue. I have done three different plantings trying to get plants started in my 2 ac pond. I haven't been able to get anything started yet. Not even any natural occurring plants except just a smattering of smartweed. Earlier this spring I had a coating of green on the pond bottom around the edges and in the BG nests, but even that is gone now. I don't think that is all by accident, them craws are hungry rascals. For now, I'm going to add some more hedge brush and see what develops. The pond has only been filled since this early spring, but had but was dug a couple of years ago, I had to rework watershed to get pond to fill.
