    Hi fairy girl image

    I'm gonna cut back all the grasses today and grab the lilly leaves I can reach and maybe invest in some of those fisherman waders to get the rest 

    thank you for the advise and nice to see you x

    I have frogs hibernating under the sludge in mine so be very careful how you pull it out, personally I would wait until everything wakes up. Any slimey blanket weed can be twiddled out with a stick.

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Beaus yes you can leave it, however the sooner you spread it the sooner it'll break down. If you leave itll go quite hard, best done asap. Lovely pond by the way.
