Thinking about establishing some Bulrush on a portion of our 15 acre lake. What are the pro and cons of doing this?
Thanks
I have a variety of
Spike Rush that grew naturally in my old pond. I've transferred several plugs of it last fall to my main pond and a few of the plugs have taken hold. I really like it. My variety gets from 6-9" tall by the time it seeds out.
I also planted what I think is a soft rush in a couple places. It took hold well and is about 2-3' tall. I like it but think I like the spike rush better so when it got to the point of seeding out I whacked it with a mower so it would not spread by seed. Will leave the original plantings but would rather have the spike rush propagate more so want it to spread its seed around the pond more than the soft rush.
Also going to try some flag Iris (not sure of the variety yet). FIL/MIL has a large patch of it they cultivate in their yard and have given me permission to get some plantings from it.
