Love of Lab Lab



Thanks for all the suggestions regarding cattails in our pond. It's going to
be pretty impossible to deepen the pond that much (2-5 m) as it is in a low
lying area and we have no machines....needless to say, the Guarani indians
are not into the type of work it would take to dig out to those depths.
The pond hasn't always been choked by cattail, but due to wash outs and
erosion over the years the pond has become shallower and the cattails have
quickly taken advantage. It use to be where they would take a dip and fish
occasionally, but as with many native nomads that are corraled up, they tend
to loose track of the dynamics of their space; there is less natural
stimulus.
There are some eels, frogs and turtles living there at present.
Once we manage to get the cattails retreating a little I will try some
tilapia and see if they manage to keep the new shoots under control.
Thanks again for all the suggestions.
It is so good to feel part of a world family; it's something I live with
always in my heart, but it's so good to know that you are all there.

Pete
