Hi Rainman and Esshup,
Thanks again for your replies, I really appreciate your counsel. I have some homework to do with the glass jar experiment and before I do that I�m also going to talk with the county extension agent. I played phone tag all day today with his office assistant and should hear from him tomorrow and will go over what we have discussed here and get his input and make sure I�m not treading on any toes or risking anyone else�s pond. As obnoxious as this weed is I think he will want to help me before is spreads to someone else�s pond on some bird�s foot or something. I should also get my truck back from the shop tomorrow afternoon and my wife is having some sinus surgery in the morning, so I don�t think I will get much done on the pond tomorrow. But today I raked out and measured the little pond to order a liner so I can get it ready to house the fish, plants, some of the fresh water mussels and whatever else I want to keep some of to give the pond a jump start once I refill it again. I have a couple of other irons in the fire that will need some attention this week so it may be a few days before I�m back here with enough to make up a worthwhile post. To make it easier for you to find I think I will put �Marisela Water Clover� in the title and put the next post in the Aquatic Vegetation/Controlling unwanted plants section, I think that is more appropriate to be in that section. So, it�s time for me to get to work and I�ll be back in a few days when I know more. Thanks again for your help, I think with your help I now have a plan of action to get rid of this weed. I hope the extension agent approves and I�m kind of looking forward to stocking again. I have some ideas about some things I want to do differently and want to discuss them with this group to be sure they are as good as I think they are. But first things first - the clover has got to go.
