But it does for someone as far south west as I am in Southern California.
And I'm sure it also does for those in this group leaving in South Africa,
or Australia, or similar weather belt. We need to keep remembering that
this is world wide web, not USA web, no?

No one has said where they are located! Location, location,
location. Makes all the difference. Here in Missouri it only
lasts until the first frost. Lake Victoria in Africa is a good TV
program but has no application for someone as far north as
I am.

I never really had any luck with water hyacinth. I don't know if it

got
to
much sun or to little.
What took over my ponds is the Parrots Feature. I had a mess with that
stuff. Poor fish didn't hardly have any room to swim when I came home

on
vacation one summer.

That stuff grows like crazy. I had some in my pond last summer and

it
took over the whole thing.

Hi all. I just watched a special program on National Geographic

about how water hyacinth is taking over Lake Victoria in Africa.

They

it doubles in area every 14 days! Apparently there is so much of

messing
up
the ecosystem there as well as keeping people from making their
