In The Garden of Evening Mists, the woman learning from the Japanese
master is set to making balls out of copper strips. These are thrown
into the pond and sink. He tells her this is to deter algae. Has anyone
ever tried it and I wonder if it would work on the accursed duckweed?


It depends how much copper. Copper is great if a clear but near
sterile pond is wanted.
