Patience is the key, along with controlling what you do not want. For us, it was cattail and willows that tried to invade. I tried to get eel grass to grow several times with no luck. Our newer pond has volunteer curly-leaf pondweed starting, so we will need to see where that goes. If it gets out of control, I'll add some grass carp later. Right now it may provide cover for the FHM, RES, YP, GSH, and LCS. Later we will add SMB. So we do not have any submerged plants that we intended to get going, but some volunteers that have really not taken off. I think the lily cover helps with that.
