Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Cat tails

A old timer told me today that he had cattails around his 1/2 acre pond so he cut them oof below the water level by about 6 inches and said that new shoots tried to come up but died before reaching the surface, he said they drowned :rolleyes: But I will say that he didnt have any cat tails in his pond. He made what looked like a sled that was tied to a rope he would wade out in the water and hook the sled rails into the dead cat tails at the base and his buddy would drag out the wad of cattails with his tractor
