We rent a house that has a natural pond. It was a low boggy area with a natural spring that has a low flow of water to a lake. Originally it was back-hoed to form the pond. This was several years ago.

Last year and now starting in the early spring this year there is a green growth on the surface of the water. The landlord tried to "herd" the scum to the draining edge of the pond but it grew back. I haven't taken a close enough look at it to describe it yet, but I will if it will help.

This pond has been in existence without this surface growth for at least 10 years, any help would be appreciated!!
