If this is the case, might it be a counterproductive mulch choice?<br />On the other hand, you have motivated me to make fuller use of the rather agressive growth of the aquatic plants on our 550 square meter pond.<br />Have you used horsetails ( Equisetum)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890333729999216226.post-46132334230953606712017-06-01T17:16:10.934+03:002017-06-01T17:16:10.934+03:00Hi Adam

Last winter a week or so below minus 4 killed all my azolla but this year was mild winter, just a few days when it froze the azolla pond and it is coming through just fine. It is growing like mad in my greenhouse right now and outside it is alive but not exactly going crazy. Goldfish much prefer duckweed to azolla. Azolla evaporates more water, duckweed is on a par with it if it gets enough nutrients, also, azolla is I believe used in some cooking somewhere in india. (for human food.) I am going to try azolla as "moss" for hanging baskets this year. Brian.
