I am going to try dragging two of the rakes behind my paddleboat. Although, I may need outriggers. Oxygen Depletion: Blanket weed can also contribute to oxygen depletion in the pond. During the day, blanket weed produces oxygen through photosynthesis. However, at night, it consumes oxygen through respiration, and dense mats of blanket weed can rapidly deplete oxygen levels in the water, potentially leading to oxygen stress or even fish kills. This can be particularly problematic in warm weather or during periods of low oxygen availability, such as in the winter when the pond may be covered by ice.
