- Day 2 of removing the duckweed. A few improvement mods from Day 1. Only ran pump about 45 mins this day and had to stop. A couple of times on Day 1 and Day 2 sticks and other debris got into the bucket and sucked into the pipe. So, I have one final mod to do which will keep the sticks and stuff out of the bucket, but allow the duckweed to get sucked in through the pump.
My local fish store charges $5 for little cup of duckweed, you are sitting on a gold mine.
And here I am struggling to grow them in a tray..
You're welcome to come here and get all the duckweed you want!

I wish I could
@@apurvakmr Why do you want to grow duckweed?
@@brianbrown600
for scientific research. Its now underway
@@brianbrown600 free unending highest protein animal feed on the plannet!
Fish adore it!!! Quail, chickens, rabbits goats pugs sheep & cattle all love it!!!
Also excellent for gardens and soil...
Free, never-ending highest protein animal feed or fertiliser on the plannet! Hope you use it! You can sell if for feed pellets or use fresh for all farm animals!!!
Correct!! But you know how they are ,spoil wash brain farmer.
He tried the animal feed. None will eat it on his farm. He has to compost it.
How many of your animals did u feed it to?
@@GoatZilla I only have quail ,chicken and Pigeons... I feed it fresh...they love it.
Could you turn up the pump? I could almost hear what you were saying 😂
Sorry about the loud motor. 😁
Don't dump it is good food, for your chicken and animals.High protein 40%.
Work with duck weed about 1 time a week at our waste water plant. We use a surface skimmer but then again we had a narrow channel we normally clean. Pretty good idea for your larger water surface.
Have you tested the water in the pond? To me, this would suggest some kind of imbalance. Unless you address that, it will return within a matter of days. It's possible the pond water has too much nitrogen and phosphorous. I would suggest a combination of aeration, filtration, and other types of non-floating aquatic plants.
Thank you for the idea.
For me, I'll pump the slurry up into my woods above the pond. The duck mill will get caught in the woods & the water would flow back into my pond
Sounds like a good idea
I tried putting it in the fish pond to grow it but the Koi carp and Goldfish just keep eating it.
You must put a floating net and Grow on top of that, but yes, the fish are crazy for it!!!
@Oasis_Desert_Rose Ah on second note I think it was winter when I posted that and it was dormant. Anyway the fish stopped eating it and wouldnt touch the duckweed anymore. If they did they were spitting it out. I don't think they like it that much. And it ended up taking over the whole pond. I had to scoup it out by hand. But on the plus side, I had never seen the water so clean and clear!
Just having water flow will help, remember to be careful ! you add too much Oxygen or movement to fast you might have issues
put a Duck inside or Tilapia for 1 week is clean
Thanks for the info. I may try that.
Let me rephrase that...
I've had ducks for several years. They can't keep up with the duckweed growth.
But, I will look into the Tilapia.
I would be tempted to tie a burlap sack to the discharge and lift the hose off the ground some so the sediment settles to the bottom of the bag.
Hay do not waste it
Get fish or ducks
Gold fish
Koi
Talapia
Carps
Maby catfish
Ducks or gees wil do a good job
Have many ducks already in the pond. But, do want to try some Talapia
@@beardedprepper8606 So I guess that this duckweed removal pump set up doesn't work?
Among those fishes, I definitely heard good things about tilapia than the other. Carp species (including koi, goldfishes) may get rid of duckweed but in turn they would go destroy the pond system and let algae taking over. You then have the green pea soup pond. Baby Tilapia is used as hair algae remover in planted aquarium. They have big appetizers for duckweed, algae, but likely leave the pond plant untouched when well fed. That would mean after duckweed, you don't have to deal with another kind of broken pond eco system.
Yes it works. I got my pond cleared doing it. My pond was so bad at that time, it took quite a while to get it cleared up. But, it does work.
very slow..
This was video 2 in a series of 7 or 8 videos on this subject. The process was very slow in this video, but if you'll watch the rest of the videos in this series, you'll see that I improved on the method which did greatly speed up the process. Now my duckweed problem was so severe that it took me several days in a row for over a week straight to clear up my pond, but it did work. Over-all, one may think the whole process seemed slow, but considering how severe my duckweed problem was and in later videos it shows me several times cleaning out the trapped duckweed from where the water returned into the pond and seeing the huge amounts of duckweed I removed by hand from the catch screen, one can tell that the process was working. If I had only stuck with the process shown in this particular video, it would've taken me months to put a dent in the duckweed, if it would've even put a dent in it. So, if you haven't watched the rest of the videos in this series, please go check them out and you see how I improved on the process. Thanks for watching!
You also need to regularly remove bottom sediments. This can be done with a dirty water motor pump and a Bagermaster suction nozzle.
motor pump can also deepen the reservoir.
STRING 20 FT OR MORE OF POOL NOODLES TOGETHER WITH 50 LB TEST FISHING LINE AND TIE A REMOTE CONTROL BOAT TO EACH END. GET TWO PEOPLE TO DRIVE THE TWO BOATS IN TO SHORE GATHERING THE MUCK IN A SMALL CIRCLE. AND THEN USE A LARGE SCREEN FRAME TO PICK IT UP. FEED THE LINE THROUGH THE POOL NOODLES WITH A HEAVY SINKER.
Trying to rig me up something like you did....on your pond skimmer do you attach the suction line on the bottom or side of the bucket and does it need to be sealed or don't matter?
Sorry for late reply..
Mine was at lower side of the bucket, but it could be from the bottom. Either way works. Sealed is best, but it's doesn't have to be like an air tight seal. Mine was snug sealed, but loose and could spin around in the hole when not connect to the other piping.
Dry it and squeeze it in a press = oil
There must be a way to turn this into a fuel, even run a generator through gasification
Знаю как избавиться от этих водорослей навсегда.быстро и дёшево. Вы можете на этом заработать большие деньги
Sorry, I don't understand the language.
@@beardedprepper8606I know how to get rid of these algae forever. Inside and cheap. You can earn big money on it.
Please tell me more.
@@beardedprepper8606 Надо применить мою технологию и идею, .которая состоит в том что в ней нет никакой химии опасной для природы, человека, воды и рыб.Растения умирают за двое суток, на очень больших водных территориях. С этой работой справляются два человека...Даже есть большой оптовый покупатель на это растение...Захотите заработать много денег, предложите мне гонорар за идею.
@@palych8502 How do I get your idea?
I really wish this were done with a bunch of solar panels on a raft
I am unable to grow duck weed it is turning yellow and dying what can I do?
I wish I was unable to grow duckweed. I do not grow it. It is a nuisance in my pond. I wish I could permanently get rid of it.
@@beardedprepper8606 lol
DUCKWEED IS A MENACE! never try growing it esp in a big pond unless you can control it which prolly wont be able to do
Put fish for nutritions
It grows exponentially...You need something that eats it!
You are correct. I have ducks, but they can't keep up with it. I was told to get a certain fish to help deal with it, but haven't done that yet.
Tilapia
Tilapia you could be eating like a king
Ever thought about draining the pond and letting it dry out, might work.
you can dry that in indirect light and feed it off as hay after it's been washed in clean water. or wash and feed it off normal. just mix it with chicken feed or hog feed or whatever.
