This may be interesting to those who have algae in their ponds and
struggle to contain it. I've only just heard of it and it's nothing to
do with us! Unfortunately, it doesn't look as if it controls duckweed!

Not surprisingly ducks do! My mum bought herself 4 and they lived on an
island on her pond, did a grand job of eradicating Duckweed and also
the lawns and flower beds, now rehomed she has decided to live with the
duck weed!
That's the trouble with bio control, sometimes you are reminded of that
song " There was an old woman who swallowed a fly"!!
We had Call ducks on the 'wildlife pond' who took off, never to be seen
again. If I suggested ducks to Ray now....well!!
