Interpet Anti Parasite uses a number of active ingredients to create an effective and safe treatment against White Spot, Slime disease, Flukes and Velvet.
This is a five day course of treatment that builds up an effective dose in the pond while minimizing stress on the fish.
We know that Duckweed is an unsightly and potentially dangerous problematic weed, and the small circular leaved plants rapidly divide to cover the entire surface area of the pond.
This cuts out the light, killing any submerged aquatic plants and also disguises where water starts and ends, being potentially dangerous to wildlife, pets and children.

In 1919 an Essex Countryman and Gardener set up a nursery in rented ground in the heart of Grays.
His name was Ernest Smith and together with his brother he built the business into a thriving concern growing vegetables for the London markets and serving the horticultural needs of the local community.
By 1930 he had done so well that he bought a plot of land in Chadwell Road on the outskirts of the town to which he transferred the nursery business.
He was now joined by his son Edward Smith and the nursery continued to grow and prosper, growing mainly bedding plants, vegetables and cut flowers.
