Default Controlling lily pads on a large pond

Oh, WOW!
I seriously covet your pond!!!



Technically it's not mine. It's on the adjacent property owned by the
municipal airport next door (only small private planes - not annoying at
all, in fact, they're kind of cool - especially when the skydivers are
going). But we have permission to use the property pretty much as we
see fit (I dove hunt on it - right in line with the path the planes take
to land/takeoff).

The pond is approximately 80 yards from our property line. :-)



I am digging a pond of my own on the other side of our house. When
completed it should be roughly rectangular about 150'x75' and 30' deep
(if I can). We plan on putting in a water well with a pump strong
enough to keep it filled all summer long.
