D C you are talking about what I call parrots feather. 20 years ago my neighbor and I split an order of it for our ponds. It was $7.00 a small bunch then. I have had it in my ponds ever since and just throw it in. The koi eat all of my neighbors so when mine gets too thick I just pull it out of the pond and take it over in 5 gal buckets full and feed her fish. I just have gold fish now. I have been thinking on trading some this summer if anyone would be wanting some. I have a 7x7 ft 18incch deep and a smaller one. In July that stuff just goes crazy. It is winter hardy too. I have planted it and tyed it and it will just grow all over anyway. If you get too much just try to trade it or sell it or thow it on your garden. When I clean my ponds I put the muck on my garden for good fertilizer. Hope this helps. BEV
