Why is it important to remove lake weeds and pond weeds out of the water in fall?
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009Fall is the time of year when the aquatic vegetation starts dying off. Frustrated lakeshore owner are often overjoyed to see the lake and pond weeds disappear, hoping they would not have to face the same problem next year.
In reality, the decaying aquatic vegetation creates a layer of muck (nutrient rich compost) which will fuel next year’s lake/ pond weed and algae growth. The weed problem will not go away, but will just intensify. Remove the dead and decaying vegetation out of the water today, save time and money next year.
Fall removal of vegetation sounds like a daunting task but with few simple tools it is easier and cheaper than you might think. WeedRazer (lake weed cutter) and WeedRaker (especially designed lake rake) are inexpensive and with a little bit of effort, you can slow or, stop the lake weeds and pond weeds from taking over your pond and lake next year.
