Algae Problem
Just for the record, about a month ago I put six water hyacinths in my pond
to hopefully counteract algae. The pond was thick with algae and no matter what I did it kept increasing. Since putting the water hyacinth there is almost no algae but I sure will have to begin culling water hyacinth. |

WH are multiplying and are a nice deep green for the fist time since I dug my pond! Yea! And the water lettuce is multiplying wonderfully. I hope the duck weed will give me some compost material this year. I guess the few 90+ degree temperatures we have been having have helped. W. Dale |

Dale =========================== I mix the shredded fall leaves and garden waste with the WH and WL in the fall. It makes an excellent compost by the following spring. We recycle everything around here. Before using the compost I mix in some bone and blood meal plus a few handfuls of Potash and Ironite. You should see our garden!!! :-)) -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED.
