Ok, about 2 months back we had BIG problems with blanket weed and our pond is in the sunlight so prime environment for blanket weed to thrive! Didn't want to use chemicals so we got a hoover and sucked most of the weed out but also put in a bail of barlet straw which after 3 weeks starts to rot, we now have a clear pond, no blanket weed whats so ever, and a sterlet that swimming happily without getting caught up in the weed!
2nd bail went in yesturday as a preventative method of keeping the weed away
