The biggest problem is getting the owner of the body of water to let you use a chemical... Parents cabin lake used to be terrible. Then the lake association sprayed and it's not weedy at all. Side effects from spraying and fertilizer use on the lake is a nasty baby sh!t green lake
What you're looking for here is Barley straw. Best to put it loosely into onion bags and weight it down just below the surface of the water. When the straw breaks down it lets off some sort of organic that helps control weeds. Larry Walsh and I researched and came up with a few fixes several years ago when the London pond was out of control. The straw was one of a few things we tried the first year. We also introduced Koi and Blue Vail aquatic dye at the same time. Once it was under control the dye was the only thing needed on a yearly basis to keep it that way.An old remedy to kill weeds in local farm ponds was to sink a few bales of STRAW in the water around the pond. I don't know, and nobody can tell me why it works, but it seems to. It is ecologically friendly, it won't change the color of the water, and there are no fish to run over. Get a few bales from a local farmer and try it, you have nothing ot lose but a few bucks.
