This first year of creating a healthy pond in Utah has been educational, to say the least. Turns out that the water and rocks are very alkaline, and my floating plants failed to thrive as they did in Wisconsin. You can see the yellowing on the water lettuce in this picture. Too late in the season, I found out how to fertilize the plants (which I had no idea one ever did). For the last few weeks of the season, I was able to coax out more green in the leaves. Next summer....new products needed.
