I know very little about alot of things. One being plants in ponds. My pond will be about 3/4 ac total. Around 11 foot at the deepest but most being between 2 and 6 foot deep. Some of the bank is pretty steep some is very gradual. I am just finishing up on a redig so its bare ground. Pond has always been very murky. It hasnt filled all the way yet. What plants and where can I get them from should I be using. I live in south east kansas. I dont want to have to replant every year. Any help I can get is great appreciated. I like the looks of lilly pads but also dont want them taking over. I'm not afraid of getting in there and ripping them out if anything gets carried away.

The people who say I can't do it can just sit the @^#% down and watch me. Friends call me Rusto I also subscribe to pond boss mag. http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=504716#Post504716
