Thank you, Chris - support and kind words are always welcome - particularly after a cold and muddy day knee deep in Crassula!!

We think it's just the natural water table, despite the dry Summer. Definitely easier when dry but the remaining Crassula in the water is proving a headache!!

Thanks Alex. That's a great idea. The Parrot's Feather seems to have abated but there's still some Crassula left - I doubt we'll ever be rid of it completely but as long as it's manageable then I think we will have succeeded.

Hi Carl. There's still some frustrating clumps in the water (more mud than water when you get in) proving an obstacle, plus new growth amongst flint (hard to scrape easily) but definitely much progress since 2022!

Thank you Tim. It's been trial & error plus listen to as much expert advice as we can, as well as being flexible when weather conditions change. All we've done is documented on our website www.morstonpondswamp.org the Blog pages might be best, plus the Gallery to see the changes as we've gone along
