Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Identifying plants Film over the pond

One thing I haven't brought up yet but you might notice from the picture I posted--this pond is under the jurisdiction of a subdivision that does nothing to it. In fact I think their practices are detrimental. I say that because

1) they mow up to the water
2) they fertilize up to the water and around a catch basin that drains into the water.

Dead organics make sense because this could simply be from them mowing and blowing dirt off the sidewalk into the pond.

I plan on putting up a small "grow zone' sign and talk to the mowers to keep a buffer zone between the pond and the trimmed grass--it can only help.

Thanks for all of your input and conversation on this topic--I truly appreciate it.

Other than the film, things are living and thriving. Frogs, minnows, snails, turtles--I just need to get some gamefish in there. I saw a turtle haul in a big snail today--that was pretty cool to watch. So much going on down there.
