thinking about your plant problems,, when purchasing plants for the
pond look for plants that are native or near native to the natural
water sources in your area.
I hav had no luck introducing "non wild" plants into my pond system.
the ones that grow in the large man made fishing ponds around me seem to
be the best to adapt to my pond.
