    Default Pond weed!

    Does anyone know if it's safe to use pond weed around the garden?
    We have a mini lake and we get loads of this stuff out every year and was just wondering if there was something I could use it for.
    Is it safe to use as mulch? Safe on the compost heap? Or does anyone know if it rots down in its own heap, quickly?

    Porshie.. I use it as a mulch and also put it in the compost. It does compost down quite quickly, as the cells contain much less lignin in their walls.

    Thanks Ricco, that's brilliant! We get heaps of the stuff every year and it seems a shame to nothing with it.
    I'll start chucking it on the compost heap then and use it as a mulch round the garden.

    Cheers.
