Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants vacuums--which ones work?

Another thing, I'm spending roughly $150 a year on Whitecap. A $6k gizmo has a long payback--40 years. it's not just the duckweed/water meal, but the leaves. Not sure why, but willows dump leaves every day it seams--makes for a mess.

I think with duckweed control, i wouldn't be collecting a lot of material, but the process of skimming weekly would keep a nice looking pond. It's almost july and I've not yet collected a compost bin of duckweed/leaves.

Prior to chemical treatment, I could skim a compost bin almost daily.


I'm surprised the water level hasn't been affected all that much--I thought duckweed might keep water from evaporating.
