Hi, weekend pond clearance... have batches of Hornwort (I think that's what it is). Taken from healthy fish pond which has newts too. Needed some clearance so fish could swim!

Message if anyone wants some.

Info from plant site below:

Planting Depth - Suitable for shelf depth 14-22cm (approx 6-9?) below water surface. Suitable for shelf depth 23-44cm (approx 10-17?)Suitable for shelf depth 45cm+ (approx 18?+)

(Drop into your pond/container pond at any of these depths)

Colour - Dark green/black or olive green brush like foliage dependant on time of year

Flowers - N/A

Aspect - Sunny/Partially Shade

Origin - British Native

Care Tips - Allow Ceratophyllum demersum (Hornwort) to grow until you have 30% of your pond volume filled then remove some by hand - take out the clear stems not the dark green/olive brown stems in summer months.

Extra info - The bulk of Hornwort will drop down to the bottom of the pond in winter & break down to small buds to protect itself from frost and ice. In a new pond, the stocking rate of oxygenating plants should be 2/3 portions per m? of surface area.

  Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight! Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you

  Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.

  I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect, it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
