Wet Spot question

[duanes]

Agree with the others, just abbout any leaf type works, as long as it isnnt toxic like chest nut.


I´ve used Magnolia, maple, and just about anything from my yard, that doesn´t kill plants or grasses under neath the tree canopy, ike chest nut does, or something that been sprayed with herbicide.
They do break down after a while, and siphoned up.

Of course when you look at many natural habitats, leaf litter is often a normal part of it.
Below is the Rio Uni, a stream where I was collecting today.

Thanks guys, I have all of those trees and probably a gazillion pecans.

Pecan leaves contain minimal amounts of the natural toxin
juglone, which in high concentrations can be harmful to aquatic life and plants. However, the concentration in pecan leaves is generally considered too low to cause significant issues in a typical pond setting, provided large quantities are not allowed to accumulate.

Thanks for the heads up duanes.
