yeah, i've seen that too...but a little manual control for whatever plant we choose is ok, just so long as it isn't weeks of control just to keep it from taking over the shore or other parts of the pond.
However, on another site, i just read that attempting to pull unwanted stalks out breaks the tuber, which causes it to spread....
Of course this is coming from a poster who said that calling it invasive was an "inderstatement." source reliability = FAIL.
Dad's initial response was to head across his yard into the wetlands conservation land and just pull a handful of something that is spreading beyond the state/county land and plant it there. lol.....Now i know that the wetlands conservation area and this pond are connected, so they share water, algae, frogs, birds, mice and more...but if the plant is spreading out of the wetland...do you really want to give it a jump start into your pond? I know, i don't even know what he was looking at. Maybe that is a good idea, just gave me a chuckle.
