Since putting the water hyacinth there is almost no algae but I sure
will
have to begin culling water hyacinth.



Dammed if you do... And if you don't?

WH are multiplying and are a nice deep green for the fist time since I
dug my pond! Yea! And the water lettuce is multiplying wonderfully. I
hope the duck weed will give me some compost material this year. I
guess the few 90+ degree temperatures we have been having have helped.
