I dug out a pond and I'm planning on lining it with clay so it eventually will hold water. There is no spring or other water source other than rain.

Now I would love to have water plants, like reeds and cattail in my pond. Do I add these plants before or after they clay liner?

Do I plant them just like regular plants and grasses? Not sure if it matters, but the pond is about 8 ft deep at the lowest point.

Another question; I see tons of cattail in the ditches in my area. Would they survive and multiply f I transplant them into my pond?
 
I didn't do it. You can't prove it. Nobody saw me. The sheep are lying! This tiny ad is my witness!
