i know this is way off topic but do lily pads die off in the fall/winter. i have a bunch at my duck hole and i didnt know if they would die or if i needed to cut all them things.

they go dormant in the fall and winter.you need to check your local laws about them.some staes or watershed conservation districts won't let you.and if you do.it could be a big big fine.

i read in a book once that you should go to the farm store and get 5 lbs of "carmex" broadcast it on and there will be no more lilly pads. it works great but dont get caught..

it dont hurt the fish or animals a bit..
