Farm ponds can be difficult to maintain due to their size and accessibility. Runoff from the surrounding areas can result in your pond having excess nutrients which will accelerate the growth of nuisance plants. The Pond Fighter LLC recommends chemical free solutions to prevent damaging the surrounding wildlife. Excess cattails and irises along the edge of the pond are a common problem. These plants need to be pulled from the roots for them to not grow back. They can then be used as fertilizer for the farm land.
