Although it still makes me happy, I thought this was a more appropriate thread for it:

Our pond is so small I could fish it out with a tea strainer. I am having to grab it out each time it appears but it seems to be coming back quicker. I hope the stuff I ordered works on it a bit.

No idea about how to get rid of blanket weed I'm afraid, short of fishing it out with a net.

I dug a border out round ours last year. Before that we had stones going right up to it and a few fiddly plants. This year it's gone crazy! I'm trying to hide the black plastic, it's working so far as everything has started sprouting. In a couple of weeks hopefully the plastic will be even more hidden

Thanks BM - we inherited the weed with the plants we bought to put in the pond.

Luckily I've never come across it Lumpy so have no personal experience. I found this if it helps:

Sorry about the hijack but I could not find anywhere else to put this.....
we have a very small wildlife pond with a blacket weed problem - there's loads of it.
How can I get rid of it or at least slow it down?

Cheers MH & LD. If you look around the 1 minute mark, you can see the Iris's which are next to the inlet. Under the inlet is also a mass of floating plant which as you suggest filters some of the sand. The main problem is after a downpour which washes more down the stream so I'm in & out of the field regulating the inflow of water.

Maybe you could plant a reed bed by your inflow BM, to filter out the sand a bit.
