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 I think it is great in the pond, as long as you can take it out when you need to. It pulls out lots of excess nutrients which otherwise would feed the algae. _ - Charles - -does not play well with others |
