One of my big projects last year was dealing with the Cypress tree knees and roots growing in a very small cove in my pond. My objective to keep the roots and cove filled with pond water was not a total success. This year thought I would bite the bullet and cover the roots with a suitable material. Note that the cove will remain wet at its shallow bottom. I want the filler to promote growth of any high moisture loving plant plus be beneficial to the Cyress knees. Hope the new fill will not turn into stinky muck.
What material should I use as a filler and what should I do to help this little area get adequate water? Btw, it's bottom is higher than the adjoining pond.
