A half a kilo (1 pound) excess of Azola and Duck Weed is farmed each week from just one of my 200 litre truck tire ponds.

It makes a great cost free supplement for the quail, and they seem to love it. Not sure if it is for the taste alone or for the fact that both these plants have protein levels to 25%.

  3. I’m so envious. I tried to grow azolla in a big bucket and it died. So did the goldfish I had in there with it…
