I would never go swimming there beyond the dock unless I could get an inner tube to float around with my only my feet and butt touching the weeds.<br />Cousin SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21703275.post-11844104293957602742010-05-24T13:54:34.253+01:002010-05-24T13:54:34.253+01:00such a wonder, that pond! i would not be surprise...such a wonder, that pond! i would not be surprised at duckweed's fondness for the spot...being as it was once full of natural fertilizer. the same thing happened to our whole LAKE when i was a kid...it was crystal clear the year my dad bought it, but then the city of detroit lakes started dumping its processed sewage into big detroit lake (no floating bits, just the water). our lake was #5 down from big detroit on that small chain of lakes in becker county, MN. with all the fertilizer added, the lake suddenly turned into what looked like pea soup when the weather turned warm, and the algae bloomed. they tried everything--except stopping the city of d.l.'s disastrous action. they have stopped it now, though, and the lake still has a few days of heavier than usual algae, but nothing like the past. love the photos, btw.Xtreme Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536661018563937509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21703275.post-63985198982266219432010-05-23T23:43:55.095+01:002010-05-23T23:43:55.095+01:00Been busy - visit www.pmr-gca-northeast.org.uk C...Been busy - visit www.pmr-gca-northeast.org.uk Click on News and Events.<br /><br />But I always visit once a week.

But I have bought a little vacuum pond cleaner and it does help keep down duckweed. So far this year, duckweed free.<br /><br />nrs KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
