Nothing beats spending the weekend with family and friends after going through the daily routine of meetings, seminars, conferences, and deadlines. For those who have a tight budget, trips to the mall are enough but for the adventurous ones, trips outside the city are imperative. The destination varies: it may be a trip to the next city, up in the mountain, down at the beach, or the lake. The popular choice it seems, is the good old lake where people can enjoy barbecue and camp out after swimming.
The only thing that can ruin trips to the lake (aside from snakes) are unwanted aquatic plants. They may seem pleasing to the eye at first what with their colors and all, but once they begin to wrap themselves around your body as you swim around the lake, you know the vacation is about to turn sour
Lake and pond owners have already anticipated these possible issues and for the past years, they’ve been trying different methods to prevent the proliferation of milfoil, lily pads, cattail, water hyacinth, and hydrilla. While aquatic plants are known for providing cover and food for aquatic and semi-aquatic animals, the unwanted ones or weeds are considered as pests because aside from ruining the ecosystem, they also interfere with human activities such as boating, swimming, fishing, and irrigation.
Weed Removal Methods that Don’t Work v
Some common methods to promote weed control for lakes involve manual labor. Manual weeding does not make use of a weed cutter or any weed cutting equipment. Rather, it makes use of human hands in pulling out every single weed. Yes, while pulling the weeds one by one is deemed effective, it is also time consuming. Not to mention, weeds located at the deeper portions of the lake are difficult to pull out since one needs to dive in order to do that and it’s almost impossible to see underwater since the water in the lake is murky. Weed control for lakes is extra tricky once aquatic herbicides are used simply because chemicals are used. These chemicals only harm the ecosystem, which defeats the purpose of the whole thing.
The Perfect Solution A company based in Texas decided to put a stop to all these ineffective weed removal methods by producing weed cutter tools that all lake owners adore: the Jenson Rake and the Jenson Lake Mower. Both are powered by electricity, environment friendly, efficient, fast, affordable, and most of all, easy to use. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure our how these tools work. All you have to do is plug it in, and watch it get rid of all the unwanted aquatic plants.
