Blanketweed can also be used as compost, as outside of water, it does not survive and decomposes, forming nutrients for other plants! If your pond is covered in algae, itcan be tempting to change the water – this may solve the immediate problem, but will only make things worse in the long run.Improving the conditions that are causing the algae to thrive (see above) will be much more effectivelong term – if you don’t, the algae will just keep returning. Floating blanket weed deprives submerged oxygenating pond plants of sunlight. Preventing their process of photosynthesis and further reducing pond oxygen levels. 5. Harmful to Fish The postage cost for the return will need to be covered by yourself (please keep the proof of postage until your return has been processed). Algae is most common in ponds created open to sunlight. The sunlight helps the algae to photosynthesise and to continue to grow. High pH

Earlier in this post, we discussed the characteristics of Blanket Weed and stated that the key difference between the two main types is that one is floating and the other is submerged. This is where that information becomes of significance because at Envii we treat them slightly differently.

Conclusion

Regularly maintain pond filters to remove uneaten fish food, fish waste and other debris, contributing to excess nutrient levels.

Once it has multiplied, blanket weed can do precisely that and blanket the whole pond surface. This covering stops the submerged plants within your pond from getting the sunlight they require to live. Ruins The Look Of Your Pond Smaller items will be delivered using Royal Mail 24. Larger items delivered via FedEx or ParcelForce. Blanketweed will die off during winter months and typically only shows itself during the summer and spring.To understand how best to get rid of algae, then you need to understand what causes it. Excess Nutrients

Barley Straw: Use barley straw as a natural remedy to combat blanket weed. Barley straw releases compounds that inhibit the growth of algae and blanket weed. Simply place a bunch of barley straw in a net or mesh bag and submerge it in the pond. Replace the barley straw every 6-12 months for continuous effectiveness. Pond Aeration: Proper pond aeration can help increase oxygen levels in the water, which can inhibit the growth of blanket weeds. Aeration can also help improve overall pond health and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria that can naturally compete with blanket weed. However, there several short-term fixes you can also try, but they need to be repeated to keep algae at bay:

Did you ever grow cress on paper towels? If you haven’t you should give it a go, it’s fun! Growing seeds on large pieces of felt takes the process up a whole gear and gives your little seeds the perfect start to life! If you want to breed your goldfish, then blanket weed can come in handy as your fish will naturally spawn in it. It is an excellent bed for them to scatter their eggs within! In a controlled manner, blanketweed can be highly beneficial, especially for those who wish to keep a natural pond, and even more so for those who wish to breed their pond inhabitants. Additionally, using a UV steriliser can help keep blanketweed at bay, but will not fully eradicate it.

When planting pond plants, use aquatic planting soil or sieved garden topsoil from ground that hasn’t been manured or top dressed. By growing more plants there will be fewer available nutrients to the algae Algae Control Products: There are various algae control products available in the market, including chemicals and treatments that specifically target blanket weed. These products may work by disrupting the growth of the algae or by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria that can compete with blanket weed for nutrients. Remove any rotten vegetation, including dead leaves. Although these seem like small issues, they can unbalance the water levels again, boosting the nutrient levels.In ponds where plants are not an option, use phosphate removers to artificially reduce the excess nutrients to cut off the blanket weeds food source. Oxygen Depletion: Blanket weed can also contribute to oxygen depletion in the pond. During the day, blanket weed produces oxygen through photosynthesis. However, at night, it consumes oxygen through respiration, and dense mats of blanket weed can rapidly deplete oxygen levels in the water, potentially leading to oxygen stress or even fish kills. This can be particularly problematic in warm weather or during periods of low oxygen availability, such as in the winter when the pond may be covered by ice. Organic matter falling into the water such as leaves and plant debris will rot down and release nutrients. Regularly removing the leaves can help prevent a build-up of them Rorippa Nasturtium Aquaticum or Water Cress as it is commonly known is an excellent choice if you have issues with blanket weed. This plant will only grow where there is a high level of nutrients in the water. When the balance is corrected, the plant will gradually shrink, helping you know you’ve achieved the right balance. Pond Maintenance: Proper pond maintenance practices, such as regular debris removal, avoiding overfeeding of fish, and reducing nutrient inputs, can help prevent the buildup of excess nutrients that can fuel the growth of blanket weeds. Implementing good pond maintenance practices can be an essential long-term strategy for preventing blanket weed infestation. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these solutions may vary depending on various factors, such as the size of the pond, the severity of the blanket weed infestation, and the overall pond conditions. It’s recommended to carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consider consulting with a pond professional for tailored advice on controlling blanket weed in your specific pond.
