Default Water Hyacinth (Part 2)

Anyway, how long before the three I got start really sucking up the
nutrients that are currently feeding my algae?


Right away, though part of their anti-algae action is when they produce
more shading out the algae below. Btw, what is your pH? ~ jan

Ok, I probably should have been a little clearer. I meant, how long
before I really start to notice a difference in the algae. (I think I'm
seeing a difference today, but not sure.)

And I'm not sure what my pH is. My testing kits got sorta water logged
over the winter and I haven't yet replaced 'em. But it's on well water
and I flood it out occasionally (only about 10% each time) into the lawn.

I *do* know from the past that the well water is a bit on the hard side.
The pH is a little on the high side. Naturally, no chlorine or the like.
