Within the last week, we've had some parrots feather, an aquatic weed, pop up in a few areas of Swan Lake. I have a contract with Mountain Lake and Pond Management out of Sylva, NC who treat our ponds monthly. However, since Swan Lake is our irrigation source, we are limited on what we can treat with. If we use strong aquatic herbicides, the irrigation pumps will suck up the water and we will be irrigating with it. The end result would not be positive. We can hit the pond harder during periods of wet weather when we aren't irrigating. As you know, it has been quite dry and will be dry for the foreseeable future.
