Thank you David, and everyone else for your posts. That's very helpful.
There do seem to be quite a lot of possible treatments, and I know now what
to look out for.

Thank you again.

After 15 years with no problems, our small pond has suddenly
become
heavily
infested with blanket weed. We pull out armfulls but it grows
back
in
a
few days. I've seen remedies advertised but I would first like
to
hear
from someone who has tried them. We have lots of wildlife and I
don't
want
to harm anything. Apart from the blanket weed the water is clear
and
healthy.

I've tried something called Ecotreat Clarity, it's supposed to have
beneficial bacteria and be harmless to wildlife. It seems to have some
effect but you need to pull out as much as possible before you put it in.
I got it from Chase Organics (online)
