Hi Guys, Hope everyone is healthy happy and enjoying the sunshine today.
My pond is a nearly solid mat of bull rushes they have been spectacular this year but for some reason, could it be the gentle massage of retriever paws !!! they have grown ten times as tall and spread like mad this year, almost choking everything else out. I would like to thin them out a little but can I do this without killing them off. Alternative being of course just to make another pond just for them but as I didn't plant them the pretty dickie birds did I guess I would just get more in the new pond too. Any suggestions please

Give them a boggy area to play in

A better question might be "Can I kill them off without using WMD?" I think you'll be able to thin them out and it will only slow them down a tiny bit!
