Reed control in pond
« on: August 29, 2008, 14:21 »
I've got a large natural pond in my garden which is about 25m long. Does anyone know of a good method of getting rid of reeds as they're quickly taking over. I only want to get rid of about 50% of them as the wildlife like the shelter.

Ducks.













Only it might not just be 50% :lol:
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.

Coy carp.

They eat loads. They eventually ate into the sides of dads pond banks and his model railway line started to fall in.
