the pond covered in duckweed in 2011. I thought it looked pretty good, but it is really not good for the fish or the quality of the water. "Common duckweed (Lemna minor) is a rapidly spreading aquatic plant that deprives ponds of oxygen and leads to the death of fish and beneficial algae in still waters. It is important to get rid of duckweed for the health of your pond and existing aquatic life." And so I try to keep most of the duckweed off the pond surface.
