Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Pond Smartweed & Shoreline Cleanup

This past weekend I had a local guy clean up some of our smartweed/shoreline issue. The last 2 years it got so bad we could not fish from shore any longer. For now we left around 50% of it alone because we know the fish, small and large, probably love it, as do the micro-organisms. This guy created a neat attachment for his mini-backhoe that enables him to extend his reach farther out into the water. If it returns we think it will be easier to control early on. We plan on throwing some grass seed along the shore, but expect the pond to rise after our current drought.
