Lately I've been busy clearing the bank of a pond from the jungle that had invaded it.
On the left the land that has been cleared, on the right the pond and in the background the jungle. In the middle we have a problem. The green part is actually water that has been invaded by floating grass.
Here a better view of the land that has been cleared and on the right the floating grass. My first question is how to get rid of this grass. We tried to cut it and pull it from the bank, that's why we cleared the jungle at the first place, but it's not easy. It's very heavy and seems to have deeper roots that we expected. The second solution is to use Round Up but I don't think it will be very good for the water in the pond.
Can anybody suggest a third solution ?
