DEEP WATER DUCK 
POTATO 
(Sagittaria Rigida) 
Another favorite food for all kinds of Wild Ducks. 
The diving ducks feed on it during fall in the 
deeper waters. Shoal water ducks eat it if the 
waters are low during fall. It is a rapid grower 
and produces abundantly of food. It has numerous 
acorn like tubers on its roots just beneath the bot- 
tom soils which the Wild Ducks glut themselves 
with. One can hardly drive the ducks away from a 
Pintail or Sprig (Dafila Acuta Izitzihoa) 
good bed of Deep Water Duck Potatoes and if they 
do leave, it is only temporary, they soon return for 
more. 
Plant the tubers during spring or fall in from one 
to five feet of water. A soft mud bottom is best 
and will produce a luxuriant growth next duck 
season. They are very hardy and will thrive in any 
fresh water lake, pond or stream. Changing water 
levels do not affect the growth of these Duck Potato 
plants. 
In planting deep water duck potatoes just fasten 
the tuber to an eight penny nail with a small rubber 
band and drop them in the waters in the desired 
place. One thousand tubers plant one acre.
