Pond Boss Forums INTRO New Forum Member Introduction renovating old pond

By "dozing" if that means removing the soil that has the roots of the cattails in it, then, yes, that would work. I don't have any cattails within 1/2 mile of my pond and I am pulling out small plants on a monthly basis. I'd estimate between 5 and 10 plants per month.

You have to stay vigilant on removing them before they gain a foothold. Plants that are 18" will be already sending out rizhomes 10" away that are starting to form new plants.
