Well, I just checked on my pond after treating it with a combination of Reward, Cutrine, and Cide-Kick last Thursday. Despite some off and on rain which fell the entire weekend, I was pleased to find that the algae was taken care of and the Coontail was brown, short, and close to the bottom, apparently decomposing or temprarily arrested from growing. I appreciate all of the advice this novice has received from the PondBoss members I've contacted, and the encouragement to try treating my pond again after my first attempt failed. In another week, I'll treat the other half of my pond's shoreline, conditions permitting.
Shan, I was also glad to see no more dead Grass Carp. I agree, you can't expect them all to live, even though you'd like to. Just one dead bluegill seen last night.
Can anyone tell me what is a good chem to use to treat cattails? More importantly, I have these terrible willow-type bushes along the shoreline whose root systems go everywhere, including into the water. Very invasive, very tough. Some grow into trees, other into shrubs. Anything effective to wipe these guys out?
