Cleaning the Pond

This is last summer when we started to clean out the cattails and plants out of the middle pond. It had been very dry, so the bottom was dry. The roots had twisted themselves up and created a mass 5 inches thick. The bottom against the cement base came up like a carpet. I found out the best way to take it out was to use a large knife and cut it out in sections. If you look close I am almost hidden in the cattails.
