About 6 years old now, that spot used to be a weed garden, so we decided to put in a pond there. Lot easier and more enjoyable for me to keep the pond up than pulling weeds

I never fertilize mine, they get dirty water from the big pond and all the dead muck from leaves etc. We are always a bit behind you in growth.

Thought about it but never tried it. There is a lake in western Maryland that has sphagnum moss growing along the shoreline, it looks awesome there, which is what made me think about trying it. I end up standing it while fishing, hard to reel in a good size bass through a mat of sphagnum moss.

A couple different species of sedge. The main one you see is Smooth Black Sedge (Carex nigra). Mine are potted in dirt.
