Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment OK, here's a tough question.

The sediment/muck is a big part of the nutrient source (thinking out loud) if you increase the depth to a point any useful vegetation will not grow then I would say you will never duplicate/replicate nutrient use by plants.
I would have to go back to the 20-25% rule. (of the newly opened up area)
I'm also on board with TJ's "5"..
However, should we also have a handle on what plant species is best at converting nutrients as well? This would change the amount, or % needed to replicate Spatterdock, would it not?
Also..if removing nutrient load in muck/sediment, will it REQUIRE the same conversion rate?.?….
