green green pond of home

Hello Peter PG Scooping out the blanket weed was always a worrying time - PG it used to snare newts and dragonfly larvae, so I had to PG gently check every last strand to make sure they were all PG released back to the pond. The fairy moss is much better PG because it has short dangly roots which don't trap wildlife. One little tip I read about which I've been using this year and seems to work well. Put a plank alongside the pond, angled so it falls into the water. Plonk the excess weed onto it, have a quick root through to fish out the snails and any obvious eggs, and leave for a day. The little squigglies wriggle around and eventually fall back into the pond. Even skimming off duckweed I've managed to catch several goldfish by accident, and this method means I've not inadvertantly left them on the compost heap. -- Simon Avery, Dartmoor, UK Ý http://www.digdilem.org/ |
