This is a very shallow school pond ( I'm thinking 20 inches tops in depth) that I've worked on. In this photo I had deadheaded, trimmed back the water lily leaves and fertilized. At a depth of about 20 inches it's easy for me to scoot around and pick up pots and set them on my lap while I clean up and fertilize the plant. I do think the plant produces more blooms if you deadhead.

This year I haven't been able to get in and do as much because of all the thunderstorms we've had. Seems like every time I get ready to go another storm pops up. So, in the mean time the 'Pennywort' and 'Water Clover' took off.
