My koi eat the roots, though, so they don't last very long in our pond.

Even in private ponds, they have a tendency to get out of hand

heat periods that it decomposes better. Being floaters, and natural filters,
the hyacinth and the lettuce roots absorb all the nutrients from the fish
poop, etc. and thus make an excellent addition to the bio filters AND the compost
pile.
Note: I didn't say that I had any.
