Hi all,

I have a problem in my pond of surface weed. I believe it's called
Canadian Duckweed, but I may be mistaken. Basically, it's lots of
little green bits and 2-3mm across covering the pond. I keep pulling it
out but it grows back very quickly. Last night I found that one of our
goldfish had died, and the other was eating the weed then spitting it
out, rather than finding the fishfood.

$$ A fine fish net scoops it out nicely. Dump it under your tomato plants.

I would like to get rid of it but it would take days to get every last
bit out. Has anyone got any ideas or experience of this?

$$ My koi and goldfish love it. It doesn't stand a chance in my ponds. I
harvest it with a net from the propagation tanks and toss it into the ponds.
It's gone in a few minutes.
