Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) is a perennial that originated in Europe and spread to North America in the early 19th century.

It is about ½ acre and I would estimate an average 6 feet in depth with a maximum depth of 18-10 at one end near the dam. What would you recommend to...

Preventing Lake Weed Problems Southern Ponds & Wildlife Vol. 3 #1 (Winter 2004) Don C. Keller Every spring during the months of April and May, I get hundreds of calls from pond owners who seem to be overwhelmed with vegetation problems. They usually state that they began fertilizing in March and had difficulty establishing a desirable plankton bloom (green color).
