Couldn't have planned it to do this well........

At the end of last year I drove an hour and a half southwest to collect some submerged aquatic grass from some shallow ponds near Pecan Island. Judge Edwards (Vermilion Corporation) and I waded through his ponds pulling a pirogue and raking up grass (Widgeon Grass, or Southern Naiad, Najas guadalupensis) and  bagging it in garbage bags, then later into multiple ice chests for transport. The next day I brought it to the large shallow pond on the property and waded through the water punching fistfuls into the shallow soft mud bottom and hoped it would take.....
Well, it took. Now the water is crystal clear and almost every square inch of the pond has it up to two inches below the surface! Take a look.

Could not have planned it to turn out this way if I tried. Wow.
