Hi all,
I've a new nature pond (about two months in, at a guess).
Blanketweed is causing problems.
I'm manually removing but then spending ages on my hands and knees removing newt tadpoles (and I hate to think I'm missing some).
Outcompeting isn't close to adequate yet: lilies and margins are doing well but none of the different oxygenators I've added have done much.
So I'm considering chemical treatment but I'm worried about the impact on inverts and amphibians.
No fish and unfiltered. Aiming for 50% lily coverage plus oxygenators when I can find the right thing that takes off!
It has to go... not just the aesthetics but it's outcompeting the plants.
Any ideas? Thanks!
