The New Weed Shear: An Alternative to Herbicides for Lake Weed
Through the years, traditional lake weed and pond weed control has been accomplished through the use of aquatic herbicides and weed killers; however, a highly productive tool; the redesigned Lake Weed Shear can now eliminate the need for these potentially dangerous herbicides in managed waters. The Lake and Pond Weed Shear can cut weeds such as milfoil, hydrilla, coon tail, curly leaf pond weed, hyacinth, lily pads, flowering rush and even cattails with ease.
However, there is an efficient and economical alternative tool that is less invasive than most other options. This unique tool for aquatic plant management has been re-introduced in August of 2009 as "The Lake Weed Shear" (available at http://www.WeedersDigest.com). The WeedShear was originally designed for the benefit of professional lake and pond managers but has since been made available for individual waterfront owners and is now distributed through qualified marine and aquatic dealers.
The Lake Weed Shear lake weed cutter has a unique 49" wide V shaped razor cutting blades and the Y shaped handle allow the operator to easily cut a 30' long, 4' wide swath with each toss. The WeedShear is light enough to toss from the shore, dock or pier, yet heavy enough to sink to the bottom regardless of the depth. The razor-like cutter blades literally skim the bottom cutting all weeds at the base as the tool is retrieved with the attached 30' leash.
The Lake Weed Shear is distributed by qualified aquatic and marine related retailers and affiliates and is aggressively seeking additional distributors nationally and internationally. Contact The Weeders Digest by visiting http://www.WeedersDigest.com for more information about becoming a dealer or distributor.
Customer satisfaction is 100% guaranteed with the WeedShear: According to the website "If the WeedShear is not THE best value you have ever used for cutting lake or pond weeds, return it for a refund." Now that is confidence! Contact The Weeders Digest today and get start managing your lake weeds rather than your lake weeds managing you.

Fall is THE critical time for lake & pond 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.
