Formal raised pond, aquatic plants & DUCKS?

[Miss Lydia]

Would anyone know if they can eat water lettuce? anyone who has this stuff knows it breeds like crazy my koi pond has an overabundance i have been forced to remove a ton of it this year, the ducks have no access to this pond BUT i can put the lettuce in their kiddy pools, if it was safe for them to eat.

Wow...someone paid money for water hyacinth! Please,ask around....most States spend millions controlling it. Should be able to fish out some free from non-polluted ditches. Also,Pickerel Weed,Spider or Mugwort, Pennywor/Dollar weed, sedges, cattails. I harvest wild swamp sunflowers and grasses and reed seeds and scatter. Weeds are your friend. Oh...if you can be sure no escapees...apple snails. Can wild collect them,too but I have not,yet.
