I treated band of pondweed about 4 or 5 FT around my 1/2 pond with 6LBs of Hydrothol 191 granular on June 15. The pondweed is dead. (It also killed 1 bluegill and 5 medium gizzard shad which is acceptible.)

I would like to plant corkscrew eelgrass to take it's place. How soon can I do this? The product label doesn't say much. I read somewhere that it has a half life of 7 days. The rate I applied it at is below about 1/4 the effective rate for Val. calculating the volume of the pond but I only applied it to a narrow band.

I've ordered about 80 plants. I would like to establish along the shallow edges all the way around the pond. Should I plant them evenly around the bank or in clusters around the pond? Do you just stick them in?
