Strange jelly like blob

Asked on 10 Oct, 2008

Not exactly a gardening question but this did appear in my garden during the summer. It is a strange gooy substance that seems to be added to every few weeks. I have no pond, thought it might be some kind of aquatic species laying eggs of some sort, no one seems to be able to identify it. I have attached a photo

Yuk - looks like algae to me - is this a particularly damp spot, eg is there a pipe dripping constantly keeping it wet?

definately looks like algae to me. If it is permanently wet there it will feed on the decomposing matter there. I would dispose of it and keep disinfecting that spot whenever wet. If someone has thrown it over, I would still treat the same
