Thanks to all who responded. I will not add lillies to my pond except in a
tub/pot. Now I need to let the wife know.


Thanks Al

I have a half acre pond. It is average 3-4 ft deep. max is 8 ft. I have
owned this property for two years and am just getting comfortable with
taking care of a pond. There are bluegill and bass in the pond. I want to
add some water plants. The pond is clear of surface vegetation now, Can I
add water lilies and not have then take over the pond? Also any pointers
to links or pond books for this size & type of pond appreciated.
