I don't know whether this belongs in gardens but if anyone can give me some sound advice on how to get rid of the blanket weed in my pond I would be eternally grateful.
So far I have - increased floating plant cover to approx 40% of pond surface area.
Increased marginals to compete for oxygen.
Introduced water fleas.
Introduced Grass Carp
Tried Blanc - Kit Excel an organic blanket weed treatment.
I'm still spending 45mins - 1 hour per day fishing the vile slime out.
Right now I'm thinking that in the event of a nuclear holocaust the only living things left on the planet will be cockroaches & ****ing blanket weed!
Two conditions - I don't want a UV filter and I want any solution to be organic.
Is there a solution or do I resign myself to just netting it out?
ANY suggestions gratefully recieved.
