Is Flumigard the right choice for Duckweed and Watermeal? 

Have a amall pond near the house just been looking into this. Wow i saw your 1 week aerator video first and what a difference. I had no idea ponds had maintenance required. Our pond us lije a puddle compared to yours. Im glad it worked out for you. Thank you for posting updates.

Looks good👍 My uncles pond just looks like a blue sewage pit with a fountain in the middle at the moment. You are definitely further ahead than he his

You're doing great. Look into Natural Lake Bioscience. Their muck reducer and Nature's Blend pond probiotics are top of the line. The bottom aeration is great but unfortunately duckweed and watermeal are very difficult to control completely. The trick is to take away any stagnant areas of the pond and the only way to do that is with a Kasco Surface Aerator. Now they recommend 1 hp per acre but with my experience with duckweed and watermeal you need a 1.5 hp per acre. So a 1/4 acre pond would need at minimum a 1/2 hp series. This will keep a nice non intrusive wave across the pond surface like an inch pinning the duckweed and watermeal along the edges of the pond allowing much easier herbicide treatments. But it's all what and when you can afford it. Keep up the hard work! Great choice in herbicide remember don't treat the entire water body more than 5x a year at least 30 days a part. My recommendation is to conduct half water body treatments every 2 weeks. Chemical resistance will occur as well as a build up of the active ingredients

Looks Great! 10x better than it was last year for sure!

The pond is looking good

Pond is looking good! 👊🏻👍🏻

Seems like you're on the right track. Introducing some Koi and grass carp would definitely help the weed problem and reduce the need for herbicide. Koi will gobble up duckweed while the grass carp graze on the subsurface stuff.

Hello Joe, I've been following your pond progress for awhile & really appreciate the content. I have a spring fed pond a bit smaller than yours at about a 1/4 acre. Im trying to get this pond cleared up but have lots of alge & duckweed every year. I also followed your lead with aeration & got a system from Septic Solutions. Am very happy with it. Now tackling the plant growth. I resisted chemical treatment but just can't get ahead of the issue. Am about to try your chem treatments. Am very concerned as i have well water. Will start with very small doses. Do you turn your aerator off during treatments? Thanks for all your help & guidance! ~Bob

Does it matter what time of year you treat your pond? Mine is 100% covered with watermeal.

What was your Flumigard to Alligare 90 mixture?

Is Flumigard safe for cattle?

It’s called duck weed because ducks eat it. Duck eggs are good too besides watching them is in itself a fun time.

What a waste so much money, feed and food wasted and that's ontop of the money your using to kill it.
