I read on Internet that the only way to get rid of it is to empty your
pond and
scrub everything with bleach including the pump. If you miss just
one bit of
duck weed you have wasted your time.


You read it on the Internet?

It *MUST* be true...



Have you a better idea or a reason why it wouldn't work?


(Your sig-separator's borked - this time - two trailing spaces...

Probably, it would work, but duckweed is not too difficult to keep in
check just by raking it off the surface.

Bleach in your pond paraphernalia will kill a hell of a lot more than
duckweed - and it's not certain that it will kill all the duckweed,
anyway, unless you really go over the top with it.
