The weeds I am referring to are the various thistles that appear within a week of dirt being turned over around here.

Also, the little pond I currently have (is being renovated during new pond construction) is recently overrun with cattails and I don't want that to happen to my new pond. I suppose American pondweed wouldn't be a bad addition but I am not going to intentionally introduce anything but Vallisneria.
