Wild Rice for ducks
We are harvesting wild rice right now and this is a great time to get some planted in your favorite duck hole if you are in the northern climates. If you are in the southern climates, you will want to have "cold stratified" rice for spring planting. Since you are going out to the pond anyway, take some rice along and plant it.
Requires 12 to 36 inches of water depth and a muddy bottom...that is it. Just reach in the bag and throw the rice out over the water and it will self seed.
We planted a pond south of town last year as a scout project and it really took off...beautiful stand of rice! And there are more ducks in that pond now as well.
Let me know if there are any questions about wild rice and I will be happy to discuss.
