SAGO POND WEED

I am going to throw this post out to anyone that is interested in attracting and holding more ducks to their ponds.  Each year PLM harvests sago, celery, wild rice and fresh water shrimp for people to put into their ponds to attract ducks.

Ducks like water...but they like food in the water even better!

Like putting food plots out for deer and pheasants...this is food plots for ducks.

We won't have wild rice available again until September but order early.  For info on wild rice, see the MNO Habitat Outlet Store at www.HabitatNOW.com/go/MNO

Shrimp are available in January and February each year as that is the time we can harvest them.  You can also read more info on this item at the MNO site.

SAGO and Celery...we are harvesting these items right now and will have them available for the next couple of weeks or until harvest runs out.

Sago is one of my favorites and the ducks love the "nutlets" that form at the surface of the water.  Needs medium to mucky soils and 12 to 36 inch water depth.  A pond full of sago will really bring the ducks in.

Celery is a deeper water plant prefering 3 to 9 feet water depths and sandy to medium soils.  The big diver ducks are after the tubers with this plant.

Check out www.HabitatNOW.com/go/MNO for the Minnesota Outdoorsman Habitat Outlet for further information or post questions if you have them.

Thanks!
