Crazy Curley Lead Pond Weed - How do I control it? - 06/10/18 05:07 PM
Hi all,
I have a one acre pond in Ontario Canada that is filled with Curley Lead Pond Weed. In the last few weeks it has grown out of control. We have tried putting dye in the water that we purchased at a pond store but it has had little effect. We put it in before the weeds grew up but it didn’t seem to stop them. We have also tried raking the weeds with a weed razor but it takes lots of time and we fear they will just grow back. We are looking for a way to control the problem as the pond is used for swimming. The pond is stocked with trout and has many other beings such as: turtles, frogs, crayfish etc. We don’t want to kill any thing if we don’t have to. The pond has a surface arrerator but maybe it’s not enough. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
