I can send you plenty of String Algae, Anacharis, and a couple of Tropical Lily Leaves. How much Algae and Anacharis?
I`ll send an e-mail and picture of Trop Lily leaves.
What are you offering in trade? Xjaxx Jack jatoni@sc.rr.com

At this time of year just about everyone's pond is like pea soup until the temperatures level off . Plus all the spring rain keeps adding to the greenness . Mine usually clears up soon and stays clear all summer without a UV and I'm in about 80% full sun .

Jack, just a couple bunches of both. I appreciate the offer of the leaves, but I have to have an actual plant- I need fresh leaves with no bends or tears in them.
I have many perennials, what are you interested in? I have ranunculus "Buttered Popcorn" which works as a bog plant, many grasses, sundrops, daylilies, Lysimachia 'Firecracker', various sedums.

Newbirdman, I have had watergardens for over 10 years, mine always cleared up, too- at the end of September! Like I said, I've tried everything, can't get much simpler than string algae- I'll stick with that.

Greetings! I hate all forms of algae. But years ago i was disgussing with another fellow "Ponder" who is alos a huge wildlife and nature nit like myself, who we both had problems with "pea Soup" Until we seemed to discover something that occours natually. Maybe others out there have found this to be true also bur where my and his water garden is placed is under a huge oak. we would start off with ahint of algae blooms, mostly string algae and maybe that pea soup type too, but then as soon as the trees flowered and started dropping their flowers or what ever it is that the oaks drop that is a light fluffy tannish- yellow colored product that is about 2" long and lacy looking ( kinda) and this falls into our ponds the bad pea soup algae just dissapears! Ive tried collecting masses of it and letting it sit in my opond like barley bailes but it doent work. it likes to sit loosely at the ponds botton. Maybe its just a fluke but i swear this stuff works. I never add chemicals to my pond and dont do anything special. years ago i use to add that bio stuff that would eat the extra nutrients out of the water but found this to be a waste of money and time. Im tellin ya guys, you must try this and tell me what you think! leats see if we can prove or disprove this theory of mine and my buddies. maybe its just one of thiose things that just happens....but i seriously dont think so! I have great water and it doesnt harm my fish! I never bothered to siphon out the debris from the oak " Flowers" as it never harmed anything, but im sure you can after your problem stops.I dunno about you but barley Bailes dont work for me!
