Gentlemen,

Live in TX and since Labor Day, I had pumped out the last 1.4 million gallons of a 2 acre lake that had been dried from the TX Drought...Most of the lily pad "spinal-looking" roots were in dried soil and exposed to the sun for months. My question is, will those lily pad roots propagate again? I know they are extremely resilient. All the fish were taken to where there was nothing left: not one minnow.

Well, over the last 3 weeks, we had 9.2" of rain, more than the entire last yr, and I had 1.6ft x 25ft of water coming out of the spillway, so the pond is completely full now. If the lily pads start to come back, is there something I can use to kill them? They became completely invasive and covered the top. Some are in the center of the elongated part of the pond and are only accessible by boat & paddle.

If you have any questions, pls let me know?

Thank you very much,
Rain
