I have just noticed slight blanket weed appearing in my pond, now i know its common but is there a good way of stopping it or getting rid of it?,

is there a way that actually works?

Cloverleaf Blanket Answer, brilliant stuff.

Makes the water milky for a few days and then the blanket weed softens and can be wiped away. Any you can't reach will just dissolve in another week or two!!
Just make sure you keep your pump and filter cleaned regularly because ultimately all of that weed will end up in your filter or smothering your pump :wave:

Could you post a picture so we can see what you are talking about? I've never encountered or seen this condition, or weed. Is it common or just common to certain conditons and certain regions?
