National Geographic and water hyacinth
That stuff grows like crazy. I had some in my pond last summer and it
took over the whole thing. Craig Cagle wrote: Hi all. I just watched a special program on National Geographic channel about how water hyacinth is taking over Lake Victoria in Africa. They said it doubles in area every 14 days! Apparently there is so much of it fishermen get stranded in it for days and must be rescued. It's messing up the ecosystem there as well as keeping people from making their only means of income. And to think I wanted to put some in my pond this spring... Craig |
