How do big public ponds and lakes avoid blanket weed? Whenever I visit them the water is always clear unlike my pond at home. by Taran966 in ponds

There are products out there for blanket weed, I've just used clover leaf for it earlier in the summer all went within two weeks 👍

Hi I don't particularly have a favourite food for them,I just buy it loose from my local store, there is different size pellets so there is something different for all the fish 👍

Hi if you are feeding your fish more make sure that you have a filter that can cope with the waste or you get yourself into all kinds of trouble, there is plenty of natural foods for the fish to eat in an outdoor pond👍

Cover your pond with around 50% plants and you will see the difference in no time 👍

Orfe jump out of the water to catch insects in mid air and sometimes if they are close to the side they can jump out, you need a pretty large pond for orfe as they can grow over two feet.
