The WeedRoller ! - Looking for the Perfect Swim Zone without LAKE MUCK & LAKE WEEDS? - you need the Lake Weed Roller

Minneapolis, MN (PRWeb) March 01, 2008 -- http://www.lakeweeds.eventwebsitebuilder.com [The Weeders Digest Help Desk] has added another innovative tool to benefit lakeshore owners called the WeedRoller which uses a sweeping arm to remove aquatic vegetation and weeds, muck and silt in front of a dock or pier to clear a swimming area or beach.

The WeedRoller uses a breakthrough pivot design that slowly rolls along the lake bottom, while detaching weeds from the soil and agitating the lake bed. Once the initial clean up is complete, it requires only occasional use to keep it weed free. The result is a clean, firm, natural lake bottom, ideal for swimming and water activities. The WeedRoller easily mounts to a dock, is environmentally safe, and requires about the same power it takes to operate a household light bulb.

For many, the WeedRoller offers a more environmentally friendly solution than damaging herbicides and chemicals which are also costly and oftentimes ineffective if improperly applied. Herbicides typically require a permit, but lakeshore owners often take the chemical application process into their own hands rather than complying with state and local regulations. Applying herbicides requires more knowledge than most homeowners posses. Irresponsible use could negatively impact the environment. This process should be left to a professional applicator rather than the homeowner.

A permit may also be required for operation of the Weed Roller depending upon the state where it is installed. Contact your state for specific regulations. Permit information can also be obtained at www.WeedersDigest.com. One state that does require a permit is Minnesota. According to the Minnesota DNR (Department of Natural Resources) the reason for the permit is due to the large amount of silt and sediment that may possibly be displaced by the Weed Roller. Imagine, taking an area with, say, a foot of muck over an area of 2,500 sq ft (a typical Weed Roller coverage area) and now causing that to dispearse throughout the lake water column - and possibly to the neighbors! Respectful use must be considered. 

In addition to the WeedRoller, The Weeders Digest continues to offer a wealth of tools, tips and education for lakeshore management. Other shoreline solutions include lake rakes and water weed cutters such as the Beach Buddy, Beach Groomer, WeedRazer, Aqua-Tiller, Aquatic Vegetation Groomer, Arrow Tooth, Lake Bottom Blanket, AWE, Aqua Blaster, Muck Blaster, Scott Aerator, Kasco Fountains and Midwest Rakes.
