Fall is THE critical time for lake & pond management!

Fall is a critical time for shoreline management!

With the the changing of the seasons, frustrated lakeshore owners that were overwhelmed by aquatic vegetation throughout the summer are oftentimes thrilled to see the weeds slip below the surface and die, hoping next year is a much better year.

In reality, the very act of ignoring the weeds will ensure the opposite for next year. Here’s why: If you do not remove the vegetation that is out there today, it will die off, sink to the bottom and decay over the winter. This decay will create another layer of muck to squish between your toes next year. That in itself can be disheartening but even more importantly, the muck becomes a high-nutrient compost pile which will fuel next years weed and algae growth.  This can ruin a summer of recreational activities, cause unsightly slimy algae and dispense disgusting smells.

There are many activities that are taking place throughout your watershed right now that have a positive impact on the future nutrient loading of your lake.  That is important. However, you can provide immediate impact on your own shoreline TODAY by removing the internal nutrients that already exist and are ready for harvest by applying some labor.

Fall removal of the vegetation sounds like a daunting task but with a few simple tools it’s much easier than you might think. At the Weeders Digest, we offer wide range of tools to maintain your waterfront and make the task simple and easy.  Something as inexpensive as a WeedShear Cutter ($129) and an extended rake can get the job done quite well and you can even stay dry in the process. If you are not the do-it-yourself type, specialized contractors are available to do the fall clean up for you.  Regardless of the method that you use, remember that the clean up and removal of the floating vegetation and fragments is very critical to reduce spreading of invasive weeds. We recommend that you do it on a day when there is a stiff breeze blowing inward to minimize the risk of wayward fragments.

So, if you would like to impact your lakeshore next year, NOW is absolutely THE most important time of the year to put in the extra effort.

The New WeedShear is a hot ticket in the UK!

WeedShearThe WeedShears are becoming a hot item in the UK –

In recent weeks we have shipped to Ireland France Sweden England! In fact we shipped 1 to Florida and 1 to the UK the same day and the WeedShear arrived in the UK 1st !!   Cleck here  >>WeedShear<< to follow The WeedShear on Twitter  WeedShear

Got Milfoil, Hydrilla, Lily Pads, Cattails. Fear Not! WeedShear is here!

Out of control aquatic vegetation can ruin fishing, challenge recreation and can be very unsightly. Typical options to remedy this problem include chemicals, manual labor or as many people do, they just ignore the problem.

As dangerous herbicides are becoming banned and no longer permitted in many states, many waterfront owners are turning to a newly redesigned tool that can cut milfoil, hydrilla, water celery, lily pads, torpedo grass, and even cattails. The tool? It’s the WeedShear!

The Weed Shear http://www.WeedShears.com under water weed cutter was re-released in August of 2009 as the most effective and versatile weed cutter available. The WeedShear offers a wider stainless steel blade swath at 49” for each toss, and includes a longer handle reaching 9 foot long and a 30 foot leash meaning that each time you toss it you have a maximum potential benefit of a path 30 foot by 4 foot weedless path with minimal effort.

The master distributor of the WeedShear, Bruce Wahlstrom, is thrilled with the redesign and its effectiveness and acceptance within lake and pond communities and organizations.

Why the excitement about a simple tool? Well. in addition to the longest handle available which is great for working under docks or boat lifts, the V shaped WeedShear also offers the ability to use the stub handle that makes it easy to control and toss very long distances.

All of these features and benefits were incorporated into the tools design based on feedback from a large base of lake and pond managers however the greatest feature of the WeedShear may be the ease at which it assembles and can be disassembled with each use by simply removing 2 bolts.

In summary, The Weedshear is better than any of its 5 predecessors that Wahlstrom has represented over the past many years because of the following reasons….

• The WeedShear Weed Cutter is simply WIDER
• The WeedShear Weed Cutter has a LONGER REACH OF 9 FEET
• The WeedShear Weed Cutter offers OPTIONAL LENGTH HANDLES
• The WeedShear Weed Cutter offers a LONGER LEASH at 30 FEET
• The WeedShear Weed Cutter ARRIVES NEARLY FULLY ASSEMBLED
• The WeedShear Weed Cutter EASILY DISSASSEMBLED FOR STORAGE
• The WeedShear Weed Cutter offers an optional STORAGE CASE
• The WeedShear Weed Cutter comes with a HAND SHARPENER
• The WeedShear Weed Cutter offers a 100% SATISFACTION GAURANTEE

Lake WeedRoller: Government Findings by the DNR

The DNR Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has issued an official fact finding 39 page report regarding aquatic plant management. I the video below, we give you a quick summary of how the Minnesota DNR surveyed thousands of lakeshore owners over the past several years in order to determine the success factors of many different methods of aquatic plant management in the State of Minnesota. If you have not seen the WeedRoller, just visit http://www.WeedRoller.MN for videos, photos and more.
To watch the video summary of this report, check it out below to get the bullet points.

In summary, lake shore owners that applied chemicals and herbicides were satisfied with the results a dismal 56% of the time. Mechanical harvesting methods were given a 59% satisfaction rating based on the thousands of survey responses.
Now, here is the big new: Lake shore owners in the state of Minnesota who obtained a permit to operate a automated unattended device such as the WeedRoller were satisfied 98% of the time. This survey was conducted 2 years in a row and was filled out by nearly 2000 people and each year the result was the same – 98%. AND not only were they satisfied but they didn’t use potentially harmful herbicides such as 2-4D to accomplish it.
Wow. That pretty much sums it up; Wow.
(Wow)
