I have drained my forage / sediment pond. It dried sufficiently, and I mucked it out with my small tractor. There were a lot of cattails in the shallow areas. Before I was able to scrape all of them out, the ground became hard and dry, so the tractor bucket won't dig at all. It's all sunbaked now and the remaining cattail roots I have dug up with a pick are kind of limp, like noodles. Are they, hopefully, dead? There are a lot of dry cattail stubs still sticking out of the parched ground.
