I am building a 16sq m wildlife pond in Wiltshire, England and someone who
is thinning out their pond in September has offered a whole range of plants
to get me started.
Unfortunately, their pond has azolla. Is this likely to be a problem?
Anybody with experience?
thanks, Davy

I'd remove every bit of it, but then I like to photograph my ponds and
azolla looks like blown in crap on the surface. Messy. I was so glad that
it dies off here most winters, so now I'm very careful when I purchase new
plants not to reintroduce it. Duckweed I'm not worried about, as the fish
keep it under control, so it isn't a problem. ~ jan www.jjspond.us
