Title: Duckweed or other
Post by: androo303 on January 13, 2013, 04:00:45 PM
Does anyone in the east end have any duckweed or other similar floating plants then want to get rid of? I probably have excess nutrients in the column that I'd like to get rid of. Darn BBA is coming back.

I have been using Azolla for exactly that reason. I hate duckweed -very hard to get rid of and gets into everything. Azolla is 2 or 3 times larger and easy to see and remove when your done with it. I too live in the west end and would be happy to bring some to the next meeting.

Wolfiewill: would the Azolla out grow the duckweed? I can't seem to get rid of them trying to find the best way. If they could I would love to have some. I will be at the next meeting. Thanks

Don't know. Never grew the two together. I'd given up on duckweed years ago. See you at the meeting.

Andrew, if you are ever at the original hood, hit me up for some amazon frogbit!

Let me know the next time you're around Big Als on Innes. I have Amazon Frogbit and Salvinia coming out the ears!

Also, we give away duckweed for free but I agree, it's a real pain. I take out 3-4 4'' netfulls a week.
