Thanks! The experiment is on! Everything is planted. My thought is by planting so many species I will find the ones that thrive in my little puddle. My hope is to use marginals on the entire south half of the pond to control what little erosion occurs on that side. North half will be a much more aggressive approach with sediment ponds and rip rap filled swales as that is where the watershed water enters and erosion is a huge issue.
