I don't have it but I'm trading out some pond mgt. for welding. The guy has chara/skunkweed and it pretty well covers the pond. However, we are in a drought situation so covering ponds with weeds isn't all that hard. Essentially, it isn't the worst problem you can have because it won't do much in water over 2 ft. deep. I'll be treating it with grass carp in the spring. I expect ducks will eat it but ducks cause a bigger problem with nutrient load than chara.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
