    Can I ask a question?
    Sorry to put it on here.
    But no 1 is answering my thread I put out a few days ago. I'm having blanket weed problems didn't think it would happen this time of year but yeah it's happend and lots of it to. I have the cloverleaf blanket weed stuff and wasn't sure if I could use it as my pond isn't heated and it fluctuate's between 3° and 6° it says best to use above 10 but I don't think I will have any pond left by that point. Could I use it this time of year?

    You could try it mate but it may not work,let is know how you get on.

    Think it's best to manually remove as much as you can first.

    It's lovely weather man .

    Yeah I've seen both ends of the scale coming in . some really crap fish all getting auctioned out but still making big money !! Me and sam were looking and some fish that are bent to hell tiny thin with very little signs of anything good 22cm nisai making 500 notes .

    But some of the winners in Japan are out of this world if their blood line in coming in the UK we can start to get very excited.

    its taken nearly three years since first letter from council saying we had contamination in gardens. fish went into a temp pond mid September 2024 garden then dug out we then waited till December 2024 for pond to be built took approx three weeks. Landscapers turned up mid January do a bit then disappear do a bit more then disappear again we may have a finished garden by the end of next week providing patio flags arrive and they come up with a solution to alleviate the flooding of the bottom tier which did not happen before.

    Good to see you back AJ.

    You need to get back into it.... The Koi always seemed to be your retreat from the daily tribulations of life, would be good to have that back in time for summer.

    Hope you and family are well.

    Have you heard from Frim? I only had as a contact on Telegram but his account has been deleted and he's not been on here in a while either.
