Default duckweed adventure

I bought a bushel ( 25lbs) of duckweed for my veggie filter figured it
would shade out some of the algae in there and use up what nutrieents
the plants didnt it only covered about 1/4 of the open water in my

filter!

so much for prior planning i am guesing it would take 200-250 lbs to
cover it solid with out the plants that are in with it


Give it a couple of weeks. I dumped two freezer bags of it in my pond, and
in about 2-3 weeks, it is covered, and I am pulling it out by the handfull.

BV.
