Duck weed.
Any ideas how to get rid of duck weed. My pond is at the end of reed beds,
but I got duck weed from the garden centre. I do get the odd duck at mating time visiting the pond. Any ideas without use of chemicals as the pond is rich in wild life. I suspect the nitroget content may be higher, as its at the end of a reed bed. Thanks Anna |
Duck weed.
With a pond there may be more options. However, for an aquarium, I know if
know way other than physical removal. I have used a fish net, or I have used an inverted python as a skimmer to suck the plants to oblivion. (A python is a siphoning device which attaches to a sink and uses water pressure to suck out tank water. When finished sucking out tank water, a valve can be reversed to put water back into the tank.) -Bruce Geist "Anna Vaca" wrote in message ... Any ideas how to get rid of duck weed.

Hi Bruce,
I have been removing duck weed from my pond manually with a special flat net that I made, the problem being that unless you remove all the duck weed, it breeds like wild fly you can clear the pond today and in about a weeks time it all come back. I have tried chemicals in the past and at great expense it was not better than manual removal. I was wondering if a pair of grass eating carp might solve the problem. All the best m8.
