Blanket weed removal

[melpear]

I have a small/medium sized pond and I am struggling to control blanket weed which is now growing at such a rate that it has blocked my pump two weeks after I cleaned the pump.
I have been recommended to use a product called cloverleaf & wonder if anyone has any experience of using this.

Hi.

I actually used the cloverleaf product recommended by my local aquatic guy. It initially makes the water milky but this clears up within around 4-5days. After a month all my blanket weed was gone and has never came back. You have to follow up with a sludge remover treatment

I use Barley Straw, it takes about 5 weeks to activate plus it's really cheap.

Here is a story that has been circulating lately, it's a Bonkers read.

barley breaks down into peroxide so it is just as simple and cheap to use a little of it instead
