Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Suggestions for vegetation in NE Ohio pond

Goals for the pond will have a lot to do with what type of vegetation will best benefit the pond. If the water is relatively clear(2-4ft) the pond will quickly get the natural most common pond invading species such as Chara and narrow leaf pondweed. As water fowl visit the pond and deposit manure from other waters, aquatic plant seeds will be introduced depending on where the birds were last feeding. The early invading species usually spread fast to cover all the bottom to where surface light penetration hits the bottom.
