People
are concerned that a lot of the products offering a remedy, use copper which
acts as a poison. Although this will offer a temporary solution, copper is also
toxic to fish. The other problem of poisoning or killing blanket weed is that
the resulting ‘fall out’ of dead strands will block filters and/or pumps,
causing a loss of filtration and therefore upsetting the vital beneficial
bacteria colonies we have created and are trying to maintain. This is a totally
natural product that inhibits the growth of blanket weed and is harmless for all
pond inhabitants including fish, frogs, filter-bacteria and plants. As many of
us know, heavy blanket weed growth in our ponds, although not a chemically
dangerous problem, is unsightly and blocks our filters/pumps when it breaks off.
A slight presence of nitrate/phosphate combined with a day of bright sunlight
can be enough to cause a blanket weed outbreak. The growth rate of blanket weed
can be vigorous and the risks associated with not controlling its growth and
reproduction can be catastrophic. These range from the problem of depleted
oxygen in the pond/filters to filters/pumps becoming blocked that will
eventually stop functioning. Most existing products on the market are designed
to kill the weed once it has formed. Blanket Weed Inhibitor, which is totally
fish safe, simply affects the calcium structure of the blanket weed and inhibits
its growth and its ability to produce reproductive spores.
