1. Years ago, I used to have a 1/2 barrel water garden

and grew some in there. They are good for water plant interest and the nutrient cycling of the water when you have fish (I had a pair of huge comets in it). But they are also invasives and like that video, will completely cover ponds and lakes, essentially blocking out the light to anything under water where they are growing.

7. these videos show how invasive they are. Here is the same group cleaning up another canal

Amazing efforts! I wonder how many days they worked at it?
