Hello,
Over the last month or so I have started to suffer blanket weed again,This is something I haven't suffered for a number of years since adding an ultra violet light to the system and introducing various carp (including grass carp) to the pond. The carp were taken last year by a Heron and as they destroyed any sign of life in the pond (originally a wild life pond) I only reintroduced a few Goldfish, The plants came back last year to the point I have to drag them out now and again but should blanket weed come back if the ultra violet light is working ? The bulb was replaced in February and was working but it is a bit of a rigmarole to re-test with out damaging Mrs Badgers plants. Do chemical treatments work OK ?
Thanks everyone.
