Default Algae Question.

I noticed yesterday that the pond is starting to get green "fuzzy" algae all
over everything. The liner, rocks, the pebbles on the plant ledge you name
it. I have plants and a mechanical filter as well. Should I get more plants
or a UV filter as well?
Is this "good" algae or the start of the bad algae?
I don't think the 4 little goldfish I have are the root of the problem. I
feel I have enough plants but the more the merrier. I firmly believe the
root of the problem is too much sunlight. The pond gets sunlight ALL day, I
have water cover both live & artificial. I guess not enough.
All help is greatly appreciated in advance people.

Oh before I forget. With a veggie filter do the plants get buried in the
soil mix on top of the pebble base in baskets? I can make a "stream" and
then have a bunch of plants at the edge of the one end just before it falls
into the pond. And if so is a slower water flow better for a veggie filter?
