Goal: My goal is to plant edible landscaping around my
pond. Plants that will reinforce or at very least not damage the levee and
pond edge.
Concerns: Due to waterfowl some areas of the pond are eroding, changing the shape of the pond and the
land that it encroaches on. I cannot afford retaining walls at this time but plan to try that later.
Question to the group:
Can I plant ginger and amaranth in the shallow areas without causing an issue with erosion?
Are there any plants that by the root system would strengthen the lake wall?
On the back side of the lake, I wanted to plant tall tall sunflowers, (i love sunflowers) but I am afraid of the deep root system damaging the levee.
Any pond experts that can help? Pics for reference, please forgive that old service dog, she likes to be in as many pics as possible.
