Default Blanket Weed in Ponds

Does anyone have any easy control for blanet weed / string weed in a
pond.

It is that time of year when it seems to be taking hold.

Any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation.

Barley straw. It is also very satisfying to poke the end of your
pond-net into it and twist it, so that it forms a lump on the stick.
All you have to do then is slide it off - it provides very good
nutrients for your plants.
