Warning on garden pond weed escapes - Scotsman.com News

Watch out for non native plants in your small garden ponds because they can do a lot of harm if they escape into the inland waterways.
GARDENERS clearing out their ponds ahead of the winter are being urged to be careful about throwing away unwanted plants which can invade rivers and ponds.
The government's "Be Plant Wise" campaign is raising awareness of invasive aquatic plants, which are often found in garden ponds but can choke up waterways and cost huge sums to tackle if even small fragments escape into the wild.

According to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, gardeners tidying up their ponds at this time of year can unknowingly help to spread harmful plants by not disposing of unwanted vegetation appropriately.MPUMinCharsCutOff:210 PageLength:464

Warning: Pond keeping can be bad for your marriage!

Are there any koi breeders on the forum that would have the experience to write me an estimation of the replacement value of my Koi. I have decided to take my soon to be X husband to small claims court for their murder. I can e-mail pictures of the fish to anyone willing to help me,
