Can I use a surface skimmer to remove duckweed?
 

As in title I can't keep on top of my duckweed and was wondering if a
surface skimmer attached to my pump would help to suck in the duckweed so I
could remove it a little easier.

How do you DO that? I have actually tried to propergate Duckweed, but my
Koi seem to be a natural for keeping it under control. "O boy! duckweed!"

You can but try... and report back, we
always need first hand experience!

I overflood my deckponds to get rid of it
when i need to.

I wonder about taking a pressure washer
and 'washing' it off a pond. With duckweed
where there is even a memory of it, it will come
back - but it would give a pond a head start,
maybe ;-)

============================
I've been trying to grow it in separate tubs but for some reason this year
it's not thriving as it usually does. I'd net out a handful as a treat for
my goldies and koi. My parrots feather isn't going wild either. Nothings
changed.
