    Parrot's Feather/ Water-Milfoil - Help!

    I would welcome any suggestions on how to eradicate the rapidly growing parrot's feather in my three ponds in Maple Ridge. The parrot's feather has been there about 4 years and has covered about 50% of three large ponds (30x30 meters). We tried removing it by hand for the past two years but it returns in all it's invasive glory. Thank you.

    You've my sympathy. Here's the best page I could find on the biology and control of this invasive: Myriophyllum spicatum from the Western Aquatic Plant Management Society.
