Default Water Hyacinth (Part 2)



Well by God, just don't let Dr. Solo know your allowing birds to
drink out of a all too holy pond or the world may fall apart. After
all who wants fish swimming in bird shit.

Ok, I probably should have been a little clearer. I meant, how
long before I really start to notice a difference in the algae. (I
think I'm seeing a difference today, but not sure.) Bryan


Every pond is different. pH can play a part, if it is too high or too
low, water hyacinth can't take up the nutrients as well (and sometimes
not at all, thus they fail to thrive.) ~ jan

I should have remembered that bit about the pH (as well as hardness,
etc.) playin' parts.... Good thing I'm cute...

FWIW, the WH seem to be thriving just fine. The new leaves they've put
out since I've had them appear to be the normal "stubby" growth I'm used
to. I think everythin's gonna be fine out there...

(And the birds are really enjoying having a water supply... Now that
it's warming up, there's almost always a bird in there. Right now, it's
a blue jay... )
