That's what ponds do. They fill in.
The pond needs to be dug out.
These are my resources for large ponds.

The following are great resources
for large, natural ponds.

and, very important,
call your county extension agent before digging, find out
if there are any rules and regulations you need to be
aware of. Depending on what you are doing they can be
a lot of help along the way.

good luck!

Kevin wrote I have been contacted by Marion, who has a 20 acre pond covered
in Lilly
pads, and has been for 4 years.

Each year the pond is getting shallower as a result of the plant
material.

What is the best way of removing them? (organic options preferable..)
