Azolla makes a great mulch; just heap it up around plants. Takes a while
to break down and holds in moisture. Looks good as a mulch as well. Used
it around bamboo, and in veggie garden. I finally removed all of it from
pond as its tiny roots create a lot of debris, and the dogs thought it
was lawn (can't forget the picture of dog's legs moving above pond in
mid-air just like in the cartoons, then dog falling straight down into
water and coming back up with totally surprised look on face -- teehee!!)

It also has more nitrogen than other plants and mulches.....I read it was
almost as good as clover. Jerri

Did you send me an email? Will you please resend with name and address
if you did? I am mailing it out Monday. And yes, it should do fine up
there.

Ewww, Azolla. I found it a pain in the Lily Pond, looks messy if you have
any flying debris, which, in the desert we always seem to have. ~ jan

Actually, the place where the pond is is a bit of a leaf catcher. The
azolla catches and holds the leaves/keeps them out of the water. Then
i just pick them off instead of out.
