anacharis substitute? (it's illegal in Maine)
Hi there,
I have two new half-barrel ponds. I put a water lily and two marginals in each of them. I'd like to get some more plants, particularly something that can provide oxygen and prevent algae. In my research, I've heard glowing reviews of anacharis for this purpose. However, I just learned that anacharis is illegal in the state of Maine so I can't buy it anywhere. (It's also illegal to put goldfish into any outdoor pond, even a barrel!) I'm wondering if anyone has other suggestions for floating or submerged plants that can help me round out my ecosystem. Does anyone else keep ponds in Maine, or are the laws too restrictive? It's a real shame, given that there are so many natural bogs and other wetlands, that we are so restricted in terms of recreating one in our own yards. I growing discouraged about the possibility of putting a more ambitious water feature in my yard with all of these regulations. Thanks for any tips. Brian |
