How can you prevent or stop weed and grass from growing within the dampen of a sea or pond?
Mucking out leaves from the fall will help. it depends on how big the pond is try some weed slaughterer spray that might work
I don't reckon you have weeds or grass within your pond but green string and blanket algae. They are caused by too much nitrogen in the dampen, plus warm water plus too much sunlight on the surface. You entail to ensure you have no runoff from fields or prairie going into the pond, if you have fish don't feed them, and you should grow hose lilies or some other floating plant to keep the water cooler and shade the surface. There are chemical algicides you can use but they murder beneficial algae and bacteria as well as the ones you want to draw from rid of, and they are expensive. I think you can use copper oxide. The best thing to do is look it up on the Internet, or ask at a local plant bureau.
Answers: Preventing or stopping weeds in the wet may not be totally possible.
You will have to work and maintain throughout the season to control the weed (Similar to controling weeds in your garden or yard).
