Ok, here is the latest. I came home yesterday to find my Dad had gone out and sprayed Roundup on one patch of pads before I could tell him what we all have discussed. It wasn't much, but what is the implications for this event? I was so mad, but it was Dad, what can you do! I have read where you would like for me to post a picture. Not sure how just yet, but they are medium sized with white flowers. I live in Southeast Texas. I was thinking about Shoreklein. What kind of luck has anyone had with it? I will probably use it on cattails and bull rush as well. I have been pulling the cattails up by the roots by hand and burning them. I have two large patches left and they will be gone. What about pond weed, will it work on it also?
