| The owner of Beale Park came up with a good way of cutting weed. He used a long length of weighted barbed wire stretched from bank to bank and cut the bottom growing weeds by walking the lake edge from one end to the other using a sawing motion as they went. Razor wire might be better. Still got to collect the stuff when/if it floats to the surface. The "clump-weed" coming down the canal at Ellesmere Port is a nightmare. It stopped my 5hp Mercury once. Stalks about an inch thick. Forth & Clyde Canal was bad too last year. |
