Canary grass protects pond banks and dam against erosion

Iowa State University extension expert Charles Ballantyne notes reed canary grass is a natural choice to stabilize farm pond banks. It grows in poorly drained soils and even under several weeks of submergence, forming a dense sod that binds soil and reduces wave erosion. The green hay method starts by cutting from an established stand, trampling into mud near the waterline, with root nodes taking hold. Planting is best from June to late September, when the pond is full.
