Default National Geographic and water hyacinth

Hi all. I just watched a special program on National Geographic channel
about how water hyacinth is taking over Lake Victoria in Africa. They said
it doubles in area every 14 days! Apparently there is so much of it
fishermen get stranded in it for days and must be rescued. It's messing up
the ecosystem there as well as keeping people from making their only means
of income. And to think I wanted to put some in my pond this spring...
