least expensive methods and then work our way up if necessary. Want to be notified when new comments are posted on this page? Click on the RSS button after you add a comment to subscribe to the comment feed, or simply check the box beside "email replies to me" while writing your comment.

Jewel weed?
Maybe you're planning to answer this in one of your next posts, but I'm curious--what does the jewel weed do to help seal it?

Sealing a pond with jewelweed
Jake --- The longer version is coming up in tomorrow's post, but the short version is that any high-nitrogen organic matter will work to help gley a pond through anaerobic bacterial action. The jewelweed was handy and soft on my bare feet.

I'd have never thought of that
I would never have thought of adding a nitrogen rich source to help bacteria gley the wetland! Brilliant!
