I'm not sure what you mean. It seems to me that any grass that grows on the dryer soil will flood, die and rot when the water level rises.

I wouldn't think that light weight fertilizer like Miracle Grow would hurt the fish or the pond. It ought to be taken up by the grass without any run off. Or maybe I don't understand the issue.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
