Whether you’re trying to clear out your garden pond of unwanted cattails or you just want to keep them from appearing, there are some effective methods that you can use to kill the plants. These natural methods will help you remove the plant without having to use chemicals which, of course, is a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Best Ways to Remove Cattails in Garden Ponds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Getting rid of cattails in ponds is not a trivial task. They can be a nuisance, and they can even damage your pond. Fortunately, there are ways to kill them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, you should identify the type of cattail that is in your pond. You can use a sharp blade or weed whacker to cut down the rhizomes and roots of the plant, and when you’ve finished, you can dispose of the plant by tossing it into the trash. If you need to, you can put it in a burn pile for the next burning season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another option is to manually dig up the rhizomes and roots. This method has been proven to be effective in some cases, but it is not a permanent fix because, over time, the rhizomes will sprout back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
