Causes and Prevention of Aquatic and Algae Plant Growth
This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
When aquatic plants and algae grow abundantly, many pond and lake owners only think about ways to pull, rake, or kill the offending plant. But keep in mind that plants and algae are responding to certain conditions in the pond--namely, overabundant nutrients. The video below and links to the right provide more information on preventing abundant plant growth rather than removing it once it has occurred.
