Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment Corkscrew eel grass

I know it's sort of a PITA, but putting two strands of monofilament around the pond on short stakes, one about 3" above the ground, and another at 12" up will prevent geese from walking out of the pond onto the grass to graze. They won't like that and tend to stay off the pond.

Same effect can be done by keeping taller plants around the shoreline dense enough so they can't walk thru them.

Just about everything about a pond is a knife edge balancing act.
