| Cloverleaf Blanket Answer
is the King! |
| Cloverleaf Blanket Answer. I used this
product April last year and still no blanket weed yet, its brill
stuff. Cheers Andy. |
| After 14 years of blanket
weed problems I have found a cure!!!!!!!!!! The product is called Blanket Answer and is sold by Cloverleaf .Its a powder you sprinkle onto the surface, It goes milky for a while and you must have a good air pump running with airstones. Up till 2 months ago I have always had 5mm of the shite on my pond walls. With this gear I have none. A BIG THANK YOU to Cloverleaf. |
| Hi all. I used this product about 2 years ago
and its brilliant, so why try other things on the market if this
works ?????? |
| I'm amazed at just how good
it actually is really. This may sound like a silly thing to say but
when you look at the outside of the bottle, its very plain and basic
and doesn't really 'glam' itself up as the wonder product that it
seems that it is. |
| Cloverleaf Blanket Answer. I don't know
anyone it has NOT worked for. |
| I used Viresco and it had
little effect. I also tried the No More Blanket Weed - didn’t have
much luck with that either and seemed to get problems with my water
after (though could have been a coincidence??) The only thing which
actually ever got rid of the stuff for me was Cloverleaf. I think
different ponds sometimes get different results but the Cloverleaf
seems to have worked for many on this forum. |
| Hi Jason, I used the Cloverleaf Blanket
Answer when my blanketweed got to a length of about half an inch in
September 2005. The tub says the pond water will be milky for about
5 days but mine stayed milky for about 9 days. A bit of a worry at
first because you cant see the fish. Don’t worry though this in my
opinion is a superb product. Give it a try. Regards Scotty. |
| I have everyone’s blanket
weed 3500 galls I use a water king elec controller uv and have tried
almost every chemical on market (Cloverleaf seems to be working at
moment). |
| It's working a treat....although my liner
looks like sh!t at the mo. The filters have to be cleaned every
other day and the pump the same. It's really dying down now though.
Just need to invest in a good pond vac to clean everything up! |
| Try cloverleaf's Blanket
weed answer it well turn your pond white for 5 or 6 days but it will
clear and the b/w will die. Did mine last year (end of march) and
still no b/w at all it is chemical free as well hope this helps |
| If you have approx £13 to spend...get some
Cloverleaf Blanket Answer. This stuff is magic and trust me...it
clears the blanket weed.
|
| Hi Richard. We had blanket
weed so bad last year it was blocking the bottom drains, I used a
full dose of the Cloverleaf blanket answer, It did make the pond
look like milk for over a week but boy did it ever work, infact it
worked so well the dead blanket weed was blocking the filters! This
was early summer 2005 and not had a touch of blanket weed since, The
sides of the pond are showing the fibreglass with just a tinge of
brown stuff growing on it. |
| Cheers Pete for the advice, my local dealer
doesn't stock Blanket Answer yet but I am sure he will when he
checks my post out and sees what people are saying about it. |
| Hi. I had bad blanket weed
last summer. Pond Balance did nothing for it, even though I had
success with it the year before, and it didn't stop throughout this
winter. A few weeks ago I tried the Cloverleaf. This seems to be
working quite well though it still hasn't all gone yet. But
considering some of it was up to 5ft long, it hasn't done too bad. |
| As always people have different opinions, but
I don’t think you will go far wrong with Cloverleaf Blanket Answer.
I would recommend.
|
| The best and only stuff I
have used is the Cloverleaf Blanket Answer. I used to have blanket
weed but not anymore. Ian. |
| Hi Mark, If its blanket weed that you have,
the best product to use is Cloverleaf Blanket Answer. This will
clear it up. |
| Try Cloverleaf Blanketweeed
I’ve used it and I found it very very good cheers andy |
| Cloverleaf product is superb. Since
application I’ve been advised that a half dose is enough, l did a
full dose and the pond took a month to clear, it looked awful. I agree...Cloverleaf, I tried many products before this without results, but this stuff worked. |
| I've just purchased a
bottle of the Cloverleaf Blanket Answer and have applied a dose to
commence the 4 - 5 days of milky water. I'm now eager to see if the
treatment lives up to the praise it gets!! I think the fish are
wondering what the hell I'm doing as I strive to clean my water and
I've just chucked a load of powder in but hopefully their understand
in a few days!! Being a very impatient person, I couldn't give the
Cloverleaf Blanket Answer 4-5 days to do its stuff..... I gave it 3
days instead......And not a sign of blanketweed in sight. Believe
me, I had loads of it. All ponds sides were covered, huge long
strands of it were almost reaching a foot or two long. All the pipes
feeding to my pump and air stones were covered. but now everything
is clear as a bell (of blanketweed at least, the water still needs
sorting). So
10 out of 10 for this product and
massively recommended if you have the problem!! |
| I applied one application at the beginning of
the season, NO Blanketweed since, not even when we had the heat
wave, pond had remained blanketweed Free!!!! I'm hoping next season
brings the same success. |
| When I spoke to John at
Cloverleaf he said they had been a victim of their own success and
could hardly keep up with demand. It works and I guess word gets
around. |
| It was Andy that put me on to this product
and he was 100% right. It was the only one which worked for me. |
| I used this at beginning of
year just has a precaution and haven’t seen any since, best product
I have used for years. |
| Over many years I’ve spent a small fortune in
trying every product on the market to remove what I have described
on many forums as “weirdo weed”. In desperation I even sent a sample
to a Government funded laboratory, but they could offer no solution
to the frustrating problem. The answer however came from
Cloverleaf’s Blanket Answer which I truly believe is magical, and
now I have enjoyed several years of crystal clear water without any
algae’s. |
| Sorry friends go for
Cloverleaf, EA can cause problems dropping the PH, Barley straw is
fine to inhibit but not to exterminate, CLOVERLEAF did a great job
for me ! good luck |
| EA works great but I had ph drop too so now I
use Cloverleaf which works good too, the only down side to
Cloverleaf is it takes up to 2 weeks to clear from milky white
appearance ,but I have just ordered more as I think the rewards of
no blanket weed is worth it. |
| I agree...Cloverleaf, I
tried many products before this without results, but this stuff
worked. |
| I use Phoenix 2000, no weed, but this is also
down to the Cloverleaf Blanket Answer which got rid of it all in
Summer 2005. |
| 4 years ago I discovered
Oase string algae control (blanket weed). It was OK, it stopped it
growing but never ever got rid. Then in spring of this year I used
Interpet Pond Balance...yea, rid the pond of the BW on the bottom
and reduced it on the sides to half a centimetre. But then I found
this forum and the views on the Cloverleaf gear were tops!! 2 and
half weeks since treating its dissolved it off the sides and the
scale on the bottom of my pond is coming off. I CAN SEE MY LINER. Don't give that horse a chance to bolt! |
| Cloverleaf Blanketweed Answer for me every
time. I bought some for the first time this year after trying many
other methods and this sorted it in a couple of days and its not
returned. In fact, of all the things I've bought for the pond this
year, its the best thing I've paid for! |
| Cloverleaf Blanket Answer,
the best solution, I used it for the first time this year on Rick's
advice, and a lot of other members saying how good it is, and as
recommended only used 1/2 the dose, Result no blanket weed all year.
NONE |
| Hi all, I’m just writing this for anyone
baffled by the endless "miracle" cures for the dreaded blanketweed.
I was told about Cloverleaf's blanket answer so decided to give it a
go after a particularly heavy infestation in my pond for reasons
unknown, The water went cloudy for a couple of days then it cleared
& immediately you could see the beginnings of it working. After 2 to
3 weeks there is nothing left, the people I got it from say its
common to use just half the recommended dosage which I don’t doubt,
so there you have it, buy some next time the dreaded weed returns,
amazing product !!!!! |
| I don’t go a lot on gadgets
they never seem to work how they are supposed to. The best thing on
the market for Blanket weed in my opinion is Blanket weed Answer
from Cloverleaf. I don’t know any one that has used it and hasn’t
had fantastic results. Gets my vote every time. Justin |
| Hi Tom Cloverleaf Blanket Answer is the name
of the product I have recently used it myself and it works wonders.
It took approx 2 weeks to rid my pond completely of blanketweed. It
also puts a nice polish on the water. |
| Having read the letter from
Nigel Farris in the December issue (Koi magazine), concerning the
death of his three Koi and the application of Cloverleaf’s Blanket
Answer, I thought I’d write to let you know I had quite the opposite
results. I used Blanket Answer in my 2,750-gallon pond after a
particularly sudden and heavy attack of blanket weed. After three or
four days the cloudiness caused by adding Blanket Answer started to
clear and immediately the blanket weed had started to die off, and
in the next few days all I had to do was make sure my bottom drain
didn’t block up – such was the rate of the weed dying! It had gone
without a trace after two weeks, with my fish feeding well all that
time and with no ill effects whatsoever. Fingers crossed, it has
shown no sign of coming back. I was sorry to hear of the demise of
Nigel’s fish but I can’t endorse this product enough. Danny Long (via email to Koi magazine) |
| Go with Cloverleaf Blanket answer as
recommended. Used the stuff for the first time about 3 weeks ago (2
full bottles) and it has worked a treat. I think it may be the only
bw product that does what it says on the tin. Your sturgeon will be
very grateful. Cheers. |
| I used Cloverleaf for the
first time about a month ago, I put the full amount stated on the
bottle in, after 2 weeks all my blanket weed was gone and I now have
crystal clear water. Amazing product. |
| Put my Cloverleaf Blanket Answer in my pond
on Saturday, wow is the only word I can use. Excellent stuff noticed
a difference within a few hours, but the one thing I’ve really
noticed is my sturgeon is a lot happier not having to fight his way
round the pond anymore. Thanks for all the advice. |
| Tell you what - many people
have wasted a LOT of money in the past on BW products that didn't
work. Have you seen a single person post up yet that Cloverleaf’s
Blanket Answer didn't kill their BW? |
| Used the EA stuff, it made water PH unbearable and its not
cheap, my advice use the Cloverleaf stuff, it works and is
reasonable to buy. |
| I had success with EA last
year but not this year. I started dosing in March, bought a big tub
for 50 quid, dosed for 8 consecutive weeks instead of the
recommended 3 ....... and it hardly had any effect. I slightly
overdosed with Cloverleaf treatment and its all gone. Just had a
weeks holiday and got back to crystal clear water. |
| I gave it 3 goes with the EA earlier this
year and it was still growing, hit it with 2/3rd dose of Cloverleaf
Blanket Answer and it is back to bare walls - my pond was clearing
after 2 days and crystal after about 4/5. |
|
I used this in my pond last year, having tried a wide variety of other treatments. Cloverleaf has worked wonderfully well, in contrast to all the other products, which had a limited effect. Peter Walker
|
| Treated my pond with Blanket Answer - Only product that has
every worked as well as it says it does - Easy to use - Well worth
the money because it really does work. Regards, Yvonne Thirkell. |

Whilst on holiday I saw Blanket
Answer at an aquatics centre but I was a bit wary of
purchasing it as I had tried many expensive remedies in the
past which just did not work, even with multi applications.
However the aquatics centre assured me that Blanket
Answer did work as they had used it themselves. The results
were amazing, my pond started clearing up after about a week
and now a month later it is crystal clear and back to what
it was when new. I just hope I can purchase it locally if I
ever need it again.
A big thanks for this product.

Don’t consider buying anything else to try and solve your blanketweed problem. This product is amazing!
I used the full dose in my 8000 ltr pond. The water was milky for 4 days after which it started to clear. After 9/10mdays the water was crystal clear and the only remnant left of the blanket weed were some very light green dead clumps which were easily removed with a net and a light covering of light green slurry on the marginal shelves and pond bottom.
An excellent product which I would use again if required M & G Forknall

This is amazing… Had to apply twice because did calculation wrong, then had a couple of weeks of slimey goo (I wasn’t quite sure what to do about that but it was quite easy to scoop out with a net). Now the pond looks great, and the fish and frogs are very happy!

I'd just like to say a huge thankyou ..
My husband and i have had a pond since we moved to wales from
london 12 years ago.
And we have been fighting with blanket weed forever..
We have tried the lot ,everything on the market has been put in
our pond with no result ..
Untill now...
Blanket answer is totally amazing ,i was at the point of giving
up as its been so warm this year the weed
was taking over and we were covering the pond on warm days and
full sunlight with our umbrella from the garden table .
To try and keep the weed down ..
I was forever going in pond with a bamboo cane ,wrapping it up
like candy floss...
I was browsing the net(ebay) 2 weeks ago and found your product
..I thought hell why not was the best purchase i've brought in
ages..
My pond was cleared within 2 days from the white mist....
2 weeks later it's ate away at the lot..
My fish seem more livley,feeding better too..And i've not had to
clean my filter as often..
I can actually see my pots at the bottom and my oxygen plants
are weed free ..totally fantastic ..
Thankyou once again for this miricle product ,i will be
praising your product to all i know who have ponds and
i've passed on your link to several friends already..

Approx 10 months ago I used Clover Leaf Blanket weed killer - Still
have no blanket weed and can still see the bottom of the pond and
all the liner - Have got one on standby in the shed just in case -
Over the years I have spent a lot of money on various different
products - This is the only one that has worked in the long term. Regards, Yvonne Thirkell. |
|
I first came upon this last year for the first time having
tried all the other so called remedies & I have to say that
it does exactly what it says on the container , I used it in
feb last year & had no problem whatsoever for a year & I
have just done it again that is two treatments in a year
fantastic I would recommend it to anyone to give it a try ,
so a big thanks for such a brilliant product

At long last I have found a product that fulfilled the
adage of 'It does what it says on the tin'. After trying
products to do with all walks of life, cleaning, food
etc I think I can say that none have delivered what they
promised as well as Cloverleaf Blanket Answer.
I have been trying for years to rid my pond of blanket
weed even after draining the pond and scrubbing the
sides to remove it the weed would return within weeks.
I have spent a fortune on other treatments which I will
not name and at one stage I thought I had found one.
This product which I will not name killed all the
floating weed but then managed to leave a horrible brown
sludge floating in the pond, blocking the pump and
filter to the extent that I was cleaning them both every
other day. This product also made my resin waterfall
turn black and lo and behold the weed was back 3 weeks
later growing stronger than ever.
And then, I spotted your site with all the
recommendations for Blanket Answer and thought I would
give it a try.
I must admit that I did actually use two doses spaced
about 2 weeks between but I think this was more to do
with my dismal view of blanket weed solutions I had used
before.
I really could not believe the results from Blanket
Answer because after the second dose I went on holiday
for a few weeks and on my return not only had the
floating weed disappeared but the water was now so clean
that I could see the sides of my black pond liner with
no signs of the weed there either, something I had not
seen for years. I also thought that someone had come in
when I was away and fitted a new waterfall as Blanket
Answer had completely returned the falls to their
original colour.
Once again thank you for a wonderful product it is now
nearly six months since my first use of your product and
still no sign of any weed and I cannot recommend it
highly enough.
Usual disclaimers, I have no connection with Cloverleaf
or any one who works for them.
Yours sincerely
Phil Simmons

Good Evening Cloverleaf, You’ll have heard this tale so many times I’m
sure!! I have tried everything this year, a
particularly bad one it seems to me, to kill off the rapidly
spreading and debilitating green stuff that was 5” or 6” in length
in places and was all around and in amongst all my oxygenators and
plants, growing on every surface of liner, pond crate, pump and pipe
work below the water line. I have tried Tetra Algofin, Oase String Algae
control, Viresco Aqua and Waterlife Algizin P. All any of them did
was knock back my water lilies, they had no discernible effect on
the blanketweed whatsoever! I got so desperate I even researched all
the literature on Xterminators, but decided that even I could not
live with myself if I bought one; initial cost, long term servicing
costs and the potentially deadly effects of copper all being
factors! So I turned back to Blanket Answer which worked
in my pond many years ago, so long ago I’d forgotten all about it,
spurred on by a glowing recommendation from a manager of World of
Water on their show stand at this year’s Hampton Court Flower Show,
who swears by it for all their display ponds at their branches up
and down the country. I added the full dose appropriate to my 3100
litre pond two weeks ago, hoping, but being ever the cynic – well
nothing else has worked! I’ve been away for the last nine days but came
home today to crystal clear water right down to the bottom of the
pond, clean black liner with nowhere a trace of blanketweed, on
crates, or in, amongst, or on any plants, pump or pipes, a polish on
the water, fish feeding hungrily and everything growing away well
and looking superb. I used 1/3 of the tub so a treatment cost of
around £6, what a bargain, compare that to an Xterminator! I’ve read so many on-line testimonials recently
from happy satisfied customers that say it is the only thing that
works for them. I’m happy to add my name to their company. Well
done Cloverleaf, you fully deserve your crown as king of blanketweed
busters!! Congratulations on a fantastic product, it
really does do what is says on the tin (tub)! Kind regards Dave Hall
