Duck weed and pond up keep.

[2canSam]

I would like to develop this to a more sustainable resource. Any suggestions?

You might need to be more specific. They grow it in parts of the world for animal feed. Most places it is considered a nuisance. I think tilapia will eat it but not sure.
I don’t think duck weed will save the world or anything.

I hate the green stuff and want more fish. I've had 2 guys look at it and we can't agree on the best way to clean this place up.

Grass carp could be an option , also if you fertilize the lake it will cut down on the light penetrating in the water and will kill it. you need a good professional for some solid answers

I bought some sterile carp, and haven't seen them since I threw them in a few months ago.

I've tried the biggest hooks I can find just trying to drag it off. I raked a knee high pile out and still got no where. Looks like a cross between Barbie doll hair and chia seeds.

if you can find some Koi that are not real expensive they eat duckweed, it takes the grass carp a little while to get going , if I remember right you will need 10 to 12 per acre

Call your local county extension agent, for advice.
