We currently have about 8 acres levied and water controlled. Below that is a small cattle pond that was already there with big acorn trees almost in a large circle with one or 2 in the middle. We are looking at expanding this pond to about 2 acres in size and leave all acorn trees around it. And maybe one or both in the middle. We have noticed that the ponds in our area with duckweed floating on top just gets pounded by Gadwalls and Mallards. Just trying to add to the buffet line! My question is, can you just bucket some duckweed from another pond and dump in yours? Ive heard thats all it takes, but feel it cant be that simple. Anybody got any experience with this stuff? Growing it, moving it, etc.

Long answer is technically it's illegal so don't get caught. https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/exotic/prohibited_aquatic.phtml To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target. www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

There is lot of concern on the consist flooding in hard woods timbers on the production levels of flooded oaks. So, find out what types of oaks are near by and there wet/ dry needs. ideas on other species: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/nrcs142p2_016986.pdf As to the duck weed, it can be a nuisance if the birds do not show up to feed on it in that it grows fast, other wise it good food. https://aquaplant.tamu.edu/plant-identification/alphabetical-index/duckweed/common-duckweed/
