Sounds like you are busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger.

Freezing the water weed is okay but spreading it out some and drying it between newspaper would be better. Frozen might be a little mushy when it gets here. Dry will probaly crumble in an envelope. Can't win. Storing it in the frig is probably a good thing to try. Can you get some of the fruiting structures (seeds) in the collection?

If your pond clears up after alum sulf. treatment, then returns cloudy it's the wind or inhabitants that are stirring it up; probably all those underwater motor boats with fine scales!
