Lots of good information is the above comments but I would appreciate 2 or 3 specific rcommendations for our situation.
We have a 5 acre pond in a rural, but developing area outside of Memphis. It is an old (1940s) pond that I renovated and enlarged 5 years ago.
It is in a very natural setting with lots of hardwoods and an open field in the surrounding area. We entertain a lot here with cookouts, scout campouts, etc. Fishing is good for lmb, bream, catfish and even crappie. The pond is irregular in shape and has 2 islands in it.
I would like to plant some type of aquatic vegetation in 2 or spots for the purpose of aesthetic appeal, as well as, fish/wildlife structure, food source, etc. We have lots of ducks, primarly teal and woodies and Canadian geese (nasty things).
Please give me just a few plants to consider.
Thank you.
Mark Jenkins
