Back to diary

Well the weather had improved on Saturday, well it stopped raining, but the pond is looking decidely rough. This is because the water is high in nutrients (essentially it is tap water) and the main plants are not in full growth yet creating the best enviroment for Algae. We added some oxygenators this weekend wich consisted of: Starwort, Hornwort and Curled Pondweed. Plus some marginals: Bog Bean and Brooklime. These were added to the existing plants: Arrowhead, Iris, Watermint, Water Lily, Flowering Rush

Pond Algae

As you can see we have a pond that resembles...pea soup
