Has anyone a tried and tested cure for blanket weed in a garden pond. We have tried a few, some expensive and others not so but they have not cured the problem. We installed a new filter pump and waterfall 2 months ago and have had to clean the weed from the waterfall and the pond every 2 weeks. Many claim to get rid of blanket weed but would like to hear from someone who can ascertain that it has worked for them.

Took a friend some hay bundles to Spain which Igot in a garden centre. Tie it near the waterfall and wait. He said it is brilliant.
A friend of his has turned his poll into a pond, multiplied the amount and iis over the moon.
I agree with andy - my parents always use hay bundles and it really does work a treat - even for flat water ponds too.
For some reason the straw thing only works if it's barley straw,the last time i had blanket weed I ended up having to use a chemical treatment I can't remember the name off hand but I know I've got some left in the garage so I'll have a look in the garage in the morning and let you know what I used.
I also used to find that the barley straw method worked well.
This backed up by physically removing some by twirling a stick around and leaving the weed on the edge of the pond to allow any mini beasts to escape, kept the weed down to an manageable level.
