Duckweed

Gunther · 06-15-2009, 03:58 PM

Anybody have any suggestions on the best way to get rid of this problem. I have a 1/4 acre pond at my house that duckweed invaded last year and has made it back again this year. Last year i tried copper sulphate i believe, with no success what so ever. So this year I'm looking for another solution.
Thanks for any help.

Have you tried mechanical removal?

Duckweed likes calm water, do you have an aerator?

Here are some other options.
