Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment Arrowhead and Ducks

The only way is to fence them off with chicken wire to keep the ducks away, but the ducks will eat them down to the roots if they can.

If it was my pond, and I wanted to use it for something besides a duck pond, I'd make sure the ducks couldn't get in the pond. A neighbor had a pair of ducks in his 1/2 acre pond and wanted to know why the water was always muddy and the banks were getting eroded. Then something came and grabbed the ducks one night. After a month the pond started clearing up and no more erosion at the shore.

It's amazing how much of a mess just 2 ducks can make.
