Iris pseudocorus - appropriately sounding like a particularly ferocious dinosaur - has choked our pond. After drinking it dry over the summer and weaving their roots into an impenetrable carpet of doom, the Pond Flags are now immersed in a foot of rainwater. Resistance on our part apppears to be useless. When dry, the roots are as steel cables to all secateurs, hedge trimmers, pruning knives and other forms of cutlery. Wet they are worse.What can we do? Fear waders and scythes may be our only hope. All advice gratefully received.
