The Weeders Digest's Aquatic Vegetation Groomer is quickly becoming a highly sought after tool for lake and pond management. Despite the fridgid temps in Minnesota in recent weeks the AVG sales have been heating up. Last week units were shipped to Australia for an environmental project. To Nicaragua for a pond renovation. To several Florida aquascaping artisits. This week orders have come in from several states including our home turf of Minnesota which will be used by a company that does watershed management projects. In addition to those commecial customers, we have had a couple of orders for folks that simply want to manage the submerged weeds along their lakeshore. Thats a lot of activity when there is still 17 inches of ice on the lake outside of our offices! Needless to say we are expecting a huge year for the AVG! http://www.LakeWeeds.MN

The AVG Team was in Florida througout much of January to provide in-water demos in an effort to receive feedback from lakeshore customers in that region.

After dozens of demonstrations to homeowners and local and county authorities the trip was concluded and the team of Doug, Brian and Katie returned to Minnesota.

The trip was considered successful based on the input received, orders placed and dealerships established in the area.

A few minor modifications were made as a result of the feedback and will be diplayed at the St Paul Marine Products Show.

Orders are currently being taken for Spring delivery. Contact The Weeders Digest for more information at http://www.LakeWeeds.eventwebsitebuilder.com

How Do You Firm Up A Mucky Lake Bottom? The WeedRoller Automates The Process By Removing Lake Weeds and Muck
(PRWEB) - Wednesday, Jan 17 2007, 5:44am

Using The WeedRoller to improve your waterfront. Lake weeds and a soft bottom have always hindered the ability to enjoying a beachfront suitable for swimming and fun. Using a method that will continually agitate the lake bottom can dramatically reduce or remove lake muck. Rakes and lake weed cutters are effective but time consuming. The Weeders Digest has teamed with the Crary WeedRoller to offer a machine that will reduce muck, silt and aquatic weeds while dramatically reducing the effort to improve any shoreline.

The Weeders Digest Help Desk (http://www.lakeweeds.eventwebsitebuilder.com) 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. The aquatic weeds can then be quickly and easily gathered with a lake rake and disposed of. Once the initial clean up is complete, it requires only occasional use to keep it weed free. The result is a cleaner, firm, natural lake bottom, ideal for swimming and water activities. The WeedRoller easily mounts to a dock in minutes, 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 .

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, Scott Aerator, Kasco Fountains and Midwest Rakes.

The Weeders Digest's addition of the WeedRoller will be supported by information found at Weeders Digest.com and through the phone support when calling The Lake Weed Help Desk
