Do Ponds Need SOMETHING that Burgeons?
As a new comer to ponding, a couple of weeks ago I asked on this group if I
really needed to buy oxygenating plants for my new 6m x 5m fish-less wildlife pond. Unfortunately no one with a similar pond replied and most responders were ambiguous on the matter. So I have decided to leave well alone and not get the oxygenators. The pond is very health with clear water. But after recent heavy rain the blanket weed has increased massively. It occurred to me that maybe the real answer to my question may have been that every pond needs something burgeoning to absorb nutrients. That something may be vigorous oxygenators, large numbers of marginals, algae, blanket weed, duck weed, etc. So although the oxygenators may not be needed to provide oxygen; they would be beneficial in absorbing nutrients and preventing the growth of things that are generally not appreciated. Does this make any sense? cheers, Davy |
