Thanks BK and Esshup. My pond is still relatively new (2nd spring) so Im still trying to see how things are settling into place. I must admit I enjoy seeing some of the different marinal plants in the flooded sapling areas but the FA sure is painful to look at. Im wondering if as more of those natural plants fill in if they will utilize the nutrients that the FA are taking advantage of?
Heres a pic I took while walking to my stand one afternoon this fall.
