A fairly easy and effective way to remove most of the duck weed is to fill
the pond to overflowing, use the hose like a broom and sweep the duck weed
over the side. It might not get 100% but it will get rid of a large
quantity. Then the small net could be used to get the rest.

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.

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?

I have a small-ish pond with 1 goldfish (soon to be 2 again) and some
frogs.

Thanks in advance,

Neil
