Pesky Blanketweed - time to go electric?

[wibble1001]

I am sure this topic is an old favorite - but its my first forum entry ...so here goes .......

Taking off the leaf nets today I have just had a good look at my pond after the winter - and was dismayed to see that blanket weed appears to already have started to sprout , which considering the coldness I find amazing.

Last year I had a real job keeping it under control. I am sure its been asked many times but how good are the electronic controllers that claim to destabilize the blanket weed cells. Is there a market leader that actually does what they claim to do.

BARLEY/ PEAT extract does a good job on blanket weed but you have to use it as a preventitive more than a cure; meaning start it before the algea starts, and keep up with the maintainence dosing. the smaler amounts that do manage to grow will be substainance for your fish.
