Despite lack of funding construction starts on the more rudimentary design of Severn Barrage .
Yep that's how we stop the duckpond that we shoot over from turning green, a bale of straw in the inlet creek I think it may be related to "the two Simon's theory"Not an entry but if they are bales of barley straw at least there might not be any blanket weed in that pond https://www.amazon.co.uk/PPI-Barley-Straw-Algae-Ponds/dp/B0029WNRRU I don't know what the science is behind that but apparently it works. One of the funniest things I ever saw on TV was the last 5 mins of "Gardeners World" where 'plant expert' Carol Klein was showing gardeners how to control blanket weed using "A pair of awld tights filled with burly strurr". Only the straw she was actually stuffing into those old tights was wheat straw
The EA also use straw bales as a cheap "silt curtain" replacement here when clearing silt from rivers.Yep that's how we stop the duckpond that we shoot over from turning green, a bale of straw in the inlet creek I think it may be related to "the two Simon's theory"
