Blanket weed, the green scourge of ponds that gives anyone with a pond nightmares, as once it has become established it can be difficult to control. But there's no need to worry or panic if you see the telltale signs of filamentous algae that every pond keeper dreads.
The solution is a quick and easy application of 'Blanket Answer.' Blanket Answer Aquatic Weed Control is a unique blend of minerals and enzymes to combat blanket weed. The special formula works where many bacteria cultures fail. More importantly Blanket Answer is 100% safe for fish and desirable aquatic plants.
"Blanket Answer" Aquatic Weed Control is simply added to the pond by pouring the mixed powder and pond water from a designated watering can evenly over the surface. The pond will initially take on a milky appearance, but this will clear after about 5 days.
An 800 gram bottle is sufficient to treat 10,000litres (10m3) of water body. A 30ml measuring cup is supplied with each pack. One level scoop will treat 285 litres.
Remember, nothing is to be gained by a higher than recommended dose. Most users of "Blanket Answer" Aquatic Weed Control have found that after one dose, no more is required. But in the unlikely event, more can be added later if needed.
