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.

  The two big bins at the crossing near North X Rd and the little one at the bus stop nearby have gone. Seems odd, given they were often full of rubbish. I reported it on Fix My Street. (On another note, crow-proof bins do exist and would be very handy!)

- Clean Air Dulwich - who are they?

  Ha ha...are you sure...if I remember rightly someone leaked it to Peter Walker at the Guardian and he "selectively plucked" some headlines for his article and as you read the article you realised he was absolutely Peter Walker'ing his coverage with some absolute, bleedingly obvious, pearls like: A copy of the report seen by the Guardian said that polling carried out inside four sample LTNs for the DfT found that overall, twice as many local people supported them as opposed them. The leak to him was about getting some pro-LTN spin on the story before the government put their anti-LTN spin on it! CleanAirDulwich is a bit misleading isn't it as they are actually an anti-car, pro-cycling lobby group who don't actually talk about clean air in Dulwich at all - unless, of course, you think cycling is the cure-all for all pollution problems!? All of their content seems to be weighed very heavily, ahem, to just one form of active travel....
