Blanketweed can also be used as compost, as outside of water, it does not survive and decomposes, forming nutrients for other plants! 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.

Blanketweed will die off during winter months and typically only shows itself during the summer and spring. 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. Regularly maintain pond filters to remove uneaten fish food, fish waste and other debris, contributing to excess nutrient levels. Organic waste and poor filtration can cause excess, unwanted nutrients to start to linger in your pond water. These nutrients are what the blanket weed feeds on and help it to multiply.

How to Choose the Right Weed BlanketWhen choosing a weed blanket, consider the following:

Here at Envii, we know it can be difficult to keep your pond clean and blanket weed free – but you do need to keep an eye on your pond throughout the year. Here are 5 problems that can be caused by blanket weed in your pond. 1. Bad Aesthetics Not only does it make ponds unappealing, it’s often a sign of chemical imbalance in the pond. (Yes, even if the water looks clear!) 3. Lower Pond Oxygen Levels 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.

While this can be a daunting task for those larger ponds, it is substantial enough to keep it at bay during the warmer months. dense growths of hair-like green strands that float under or on the surface or cling to plants at the side of the pond – these are known as blanket weed or silkweed Garden ponds that sit in the sunlight are usually the perfect places for algae to thrive, which is why they’re a problem all pond-owners need to know how to deal with. What Causes Algae and Blanket Weed In A Pond? The best way to discourage algae long term is to remedy the conditions that are helping algae to thrive.Reducing the amount of nutrients entering the pond is crucial:Physical removal – with blanket weed and other floating algae, scoop them out with a net or a rake, or use a cane totwirl them out 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 Pond Aeration: Install a pond aerator to improve oxygen levels in the water. Adequate oxygen levels discourage the growth of blanket weeds and other unwanted aquatic plants. The increased oxygen also promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria that compete with the blanket weed for nutrients, helping to reduce its growth. 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!
