Just a thought that I have found to be most time saving...Look around your area for "what likes to be there", meaning the plants that like your neighboring ponds will likely be the easiest to get established in your pond. For example, I tried to establish silver maple trees and Catalpas(of all things) on my place that cost me about 35 holes being dug and the same number of deer guards. There was only one silver maple on the property beforehand and now there are 26, the original and 25 that are dead or dying (same with the catalpas).


Fish on!,
