Ah, now that's interesting. The pond with no fish is the worst
affected,
the pond with a few fish has some duckweed and the pond with loads of
fish
has none. Thank you, Donna. The only problem is that we want to keep
one
pond fish free so that other wildllife are safe from their predations.
Life
is full of decisions!

Could you scoop up some of the duckweed from the fish free one and dump
it
in the lotsa-fish one to give them a treat ?

I'm not totally convinced they'd eat it. There are no grass carp in
there.

I'd have thought it's possible that it's the fish that are keeping the
pondweed from growing on the fishy pool. But then, I've no experience with
ponds, fish or duckweed!
