The Retirement Thread

Blanket weed - Oh yes, we've got lots of that too! Not heard of grass carp, but I think they are going to be too big. The pond is only 6ft square.

Not sure about that. Mine are maybe 8-10" long and quite chunky but maybe get just one young one as I believe they grow to suit the size of the pond. In the wild they are massive.
One thing that worries me is.......I am about to put some pond plants in but not sure it the carp will eat them as well.

You can never really get rid of it to be honest, just keep it down is about the best you can do. Mr WD just fishes it out now and again. Our pond is about 40 feet wide and about 100 feet long.

Has Mr WD got incredibly long arms then? Or does he just clear around the sides

Sounds more like a lake than a pond, our back garden isn't as big as that.

He has waders. I just throw him in now and again to fish it out

No wind here at all. A gorgeous spring day. Of course it won't last.

It will be raining in Wales soon
