Duck weed

This year our small garden pond is totally blanketed with duck weed. Is there a remedy likely to be harmless to the inhabitants? *Netting it out seems to stimulate further growth! - John Lloyd Black Country, UK You are not alone John, my small garden pond is exactly the same. I was told that there is very little that can be done if the pond is too small for wild fowl which might eat it. The only things suggested were, buy a pump and some kind of water circulation device to keep the surface moving, or wait for a sharp winter frost then the weed will become encased in ice and can be moved away wholesale. As the latter is likely to be months away, I am considering the former. |
