National Geographic and water hyacinth
Sorry Nedra, hope my response was not out of line. If it was then my
apologies ;-( -- _______________________________________ "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: The chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." http://community.webshots.com/user/godwino "Nedra" wrote in message hlink.net...

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? -- _______________________________________ "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: The chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." http://community.webshots.com/user/godwino "Nedra" wrote in message hlink.net... 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 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. Priss http://priss31.tripod.com/SmallPond.html "Michael Shaffer" wrote in message ... 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 |
