So, now that this season is over we are looking at doing a little project in this offseason on our farm. 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.

It's not illegal since it is a native plant. Put some water in an ice chest, grab a clump of the duckweed and transport to your pond.
