Does anyone know the best way to get rid of blanket weed without the use of chemicals?

Answer 1

Barley Straw in a bundle,will sink to btm of pond.Remove all

weed you can by hand first.

Answer 2

Nettie means Barley straw.

It helps prevent it but doesn't cure the problem once you've got it.

Otherwise, get your hands in and pull it out.

Answer 3

I have used Viresco successfully over the last two years.

Comes in a packet and is  bacteria-based. This year took longer than last year, which I feel may be down to not getting the pump and filter going early enough.

No link at all with the company. Try a look at their website

Answer 4

Fire.

Answer 5

Barely straw and lots of pond plants ratio should 60% plants and rest water.

You will never erraticate it completely and ideally your pond ought to be in partial shade.
