Re: Blanket weed

I filled my pond with the fast growing canadian pond weed which took most of the nutrients away then continued to twizel the blanket weed out, rescuing all the wildlife that came out with it.The weed went on the compost heap,then when the pond stayed clear I removed a little of the canadian weed at a time until I had the space back ,clear water no or little blanket weed. A balancing act!
