I've a lovely crop of blanket weed in the wild pond I created during
the Winter. Is it detrimental, if so can I just rake it out, also is
it any use putting it on the compost heap?
It looks a mess . If you have a pump, it is likely to block it. Yes,
you can put it on the compost heap. I don't know how quickly it rots
down. Or you can put it in the earth - I used to do that until my dog
started eating it.



Just make sure that when you rake it off, you leave it on the side of the
pond for a while so that any desirable critters caught in it can make their
way back to the pond.
