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...

I think it is great in the pond, as long as you can take it out when
you need to. It pulls out lots of excess nutrients which otherwise
would feed the algae.
