I had the edges of my pond all cleaned out. The whole pond was overrun with cat-tails when I bought it. My friend has a mini excavator and cleaned out everything around the edges.

Well I was thinking about planting something in the pond and manage one corner of with some plants. We have one corner that all the water flows in from rain and its a little mushy. I was thinking of planting something back in that corner for small fish to hide and place for my frogs to take cover. What would I be looking for. I don't want anything that is going to get really tall nor spread aggressive. I used to manage our water garden pond at home but I'm afraid those plants may take over.
