I have two ponds 1 1/2 acres, 25 feet deep in southern Ohio. I put 6 Amurs (triploid carp) in each pond and never have problems with pond weeds. They are eating machines, but do not reproduce. When I cut the grass, they follow me and eat whatever clippings go into the pond. My ducks and geese also eat it.
Wow. That’s awsome. Thanks for the info. I heard they help but it always sounded too good to be true. I’ll try that next season. Where did u get the carp.
Yes, everyone wants a "natural" answer for Duckweed removal. As you can see a humongous amount of work went on here. I can think of a million better uses of my time. I have been a Certified Commercial Aquatic Herbicide Applicator for 30 years. 12 oz. per acre of Clipper aquatic herbicide will cause no harm to the pond, degrades in a few days, and you will have a clear pond in about 14 -21 days with little work other than heaving a five-gallon bucket of solution into the pond.
Yes chemical treatments are available and very effective but very expensive. Unfortunately once you have eliminated one problem you create another. Theres a product called Wipeout. Along with pond die. I have a 3/4 acre pond and the cost was $1,400. But soon after that algae began to grow. And had to treat that. I never had algae before. Visit www.weknowponds.com. Or call 586- 336 -7663. They have the answers you need.

Very clever. Good thinking. I find it is a very short lived fix since it regrows soooo fast!
God bless you. Love from Bangladesh❤
Thank you, I like your idea
Nicely done.
Nice job
Good job

Good to kno. Thanks for the tip.
This was so helpful. My ponds are covered with this stuff. Is there anything that kills it?

Buy some chickens or pigs and feed it to them is great stuff
They would turn out be some big green chickens.
Add some tilapia. They love duckweed!
Sounds like a good idea. Where did u get the tilapia?
