Hi Toby

I'm not sure there's anything else you need to do. That's the beauty of wildlife ponds - low maintenance!

I'm taking an easy attitude to leaves too and just scooping off a few from the surface as and when. The blog from the Pond Conservation people suggests leaving everything to nature, which I guess includes the blanket weed. (For some reason I can't link to it here, but it's called 'the garden pond blog' so google it if you're interested!)

Cheers
Joe
