I suspect a lot of 'helpful' articles in the media regarding hobbies
1) Are intended to further a writers career to make them 'sound' more expert
2) The content is pushing something that helps cost money
3) aka lobbying less than necessary choices to folk with money to burn
4) Help utility companies to rack up costs
Things that make very profitable work for landscapers off season, pumps that squelch water about, sell pharmaceutical products, sell stuff... come to mind as cluttering up hobby interest groups
Reducing accumulations of organic stuff that can cause water quality to deteriorate can be as easy as periodically using a sturdy net and a few buckets to gently reduce clutter and sediments where it settles in deeper waters on an ornamental pond, or doing occasional dredging with a rake on a natural pond when the weather is pleasant enough
