Default Tossed 8 bushels of Hyacinth

My excess is "watercress" requiring pruning with a pole pruner, one clip at
a time. My watercress had taken a real hit during the winter, but it came
back BIG time. It is all I can do to keep it from taking over the pond.
Same in the lily pond, it has become a monster,completely covering the
spray bar, which is what I'd hoped, but when it starts spreading over the
surface it takes the space for the water lilies to spread out. ~ jan

Summer growth is in full swing. I tossed 8 bushels of 18" hyacinth
from the berm ponds today. All that converted fish waste is now
working on becoming mulch. Veggie filters....Yeah!!!!
