Removing Pond Scum

Duck Weed and Algae did take over the pond. Since we installed the rainwater drainage lines from the house and the front pasture into the pond we have a constant supply of nutrition which leads to an increase growth of the water plants. This year we did not pay attention and this stuff took over like never before.

Some of Niklas' friend helped an d we build a boom to span between two boats. then we dragged the boom across the pond and skimmed off this stuff. At the shore we scooped it out and I dragged it of with the tractor rake.

We removed about 10 tractor buckets full of "stuff".
