Lake life is essential in Minnesota but lake weeds can really harsh the vibe and make swimming and other water activity impossible. Following these 3 steps and using these products helped transform our weedy and mucky bottomed lake into a Weed free zone with crystal clear water and a nice sandy bottom.

I've lived on a lake in South Florida for more than 60 years. For the past two or three decades we've kept our swim areas clean without raking or cutting aquatic weeds - instead we use a tarp - it's really easy. If you are still pulling weeds, or even worse, staying out of the water because of the weeds, we've found a really simple solution. Cover the weeds with a sun-blocking tarp for about five or six weeks. When you remove the tarp, the weeds are gone! The most difficult part is getting a new tarp to sink, but with a few weights, like concrete blocks or pipes, you'll be able to sink the tarp and prevent it from sliding away. Don't leave the tarp in one place for too long or the weeds can grow on top of the tarp and you'll have a hard time moving it. When you move the tarp, you'll find the weeds are gone and there is a fine layer of silt remaining, but that quickly goes away. Mechanically removing weeds can often make the problem worse because when you pull the weeds you break them into many pieces, each of which for many species can root and grow into a new plant. My neighbors and I share our tarps and help each other move them every so often. The best tarps we've used are those that we got from fumigation companies that cover buildings to kill termites and they had old tarps that they were going to discard. We've even used the cheap blue tarps from Home Depot or Harbor Freight. Try it; you'll like it.

I have a very small shoreline area at my family’s cottage that hasn’t seen any real maintenance since my papa was diagnosed with ALS a few years before he passed, and I’d like to take on the mantle and try to make our shore enjoyable again next year. Looks like we already have everything except the roller so that’s helpful to know! Maintaining the water with that powered water moving system might not be feasible for us but if my papa could consistently maintain the area with his own two hands then so can I!

It’s programmable so you can run it however you’d like. Honestly, once you first install it and run it heavily for maybe a weekend, it takes very little to maintain the area. Physically cut out the weeds first, roll and try to get roots up next, hydro sweep heavily for a few days, enjoy weed free lake swimming area! Hydro sweep lightly for maintenance as required.

@suburbanacreage

The hydro sweep is going to make the biggest difference with muck. Raking can help too but for continual bottom maintenance, the hydro sweep is going to keep it clear. Constantly blowing doesn’t allow new silt to settle and become muck either.

I am seriously confused. shallow lake with too much boat activity and high wakes near the dogs churn up this brown algae that decomposes and stinks. So 1. Stinking decomposing algae mats 2. Lots of turned up silt. This was a pristine oligotrophic lake only 10 years ago. All I want is the ability to clean up around the dock and have it look better in that local area. Advice?

Hydro sweep for sure will help. Remember that even high traffic areas are only busy certain times, like weekends during the day. The hydro sweep will be working 24/7 to clear debris away from your dock. Water clarity might suffer when boat traffic is high, but the sweeper will catch up eventually and win the battle through persistence. Good luck!

I use the Hydro Sweep in step 3 to maintain the area once I cut out the weeds with the razor in step 1. If you didn’t do any maintenance, I’d still think it would take awhile for the weeds to grow back and become a problem. You’d probably have to cut them out monthly or so. You mention canal so I’m guessing you’re trying to get boats through, not maintain a swim area. That should be less work and the razor should work awesome.

@suburbanacreage
@suburbanacreage 24 дня назад
I wouldn’t be too worried about logs or rocks. I mean yeah it’s not ideal, but most of the time the tool will find its way over an object. Most of the logs are broken branches that have fallen in and sunk meaning if you did happen to snag one, you’d probably be able to pull it up and grab it and remove it, added bonus! That’s a big area to clear and it’ll be a ton of work. It’ll be tempting to hop in a boat and troll the blade around but you really want to give it time to sink, then quickly yank it to get the cutting action. Trolling it around will never allow it to settle on the bottom. I have links of the exact tools I’m using in the video description if you need them.

You could but it might not work as well. To be most effective the retrieval is a series of pulls followed by brief pauses to let it sink again. You want it dragging across the bottom to cut out the most weeds. Trolling it behind a watercraft will be a constant pull so it won’t get down close to the bottom. Also you want a quick fast yank to get it to cut. Slowly dragging through the weeds won’t cut as well.

Manual removal of aquatic weeds is permitted for recreational use (swim areas or getting boats in and out of docks). Automated removal (step 3 in the video) requires a permit that we have.

It’s actually a blower and that’s step 3, I have it linked in the video description if you want more information about blowers and how they work. I find that they work best as a “maintenance” step to keep the area clear of weeds rather than getting rid of the weeds themselves. Cutting out existing growth through mechanical methods first, razor and roller in steps 1&2, is the fastest way I have found to get results. The blower by itself will make the water undesirable for future Weed growth, and maybe over time the existing weeds will die off, but cutting them out first and then using the blower to prevent future growth is my preferred method.

We didn’t get a permit but the DNR did notice the addition to the dock and left a note. It’s a family cabin so nobody was there when they stopped but after calling them about it they just wanted to make sure we understood the correct operation. It can’t sit on the lake bottom , it has to be up a bit. You also can’t shoot it directly downwards. They are perfectly legal when used correctly and the DNR won’t give you any problems.

That is sort of like mowing a lawn. How do you get the weeds from growing at all? Is it not a question of getting the right weeds to grow to keep the water clear? It should be like a self contained microcosm that takes care of itself. You would treat a fish tank in the same way. I believe in self sustainability. It is ok to skim the duckweed off the top from time to time. Maybe in a pond you can have fish that eat the duckweed but not the bottom plants. It is all sort of a question of balance.
@suburbanacreage
@suburbanacreage 2 года назад
The hydro sweep blows water and creates a slight current or turbulence. Weeds love stagnant water that doesn’t move much and by adding the blower you create an environment that is harder for them to grow in. It’s similar to how a fountain in a pond can help keep it clear of algae.

Worst instructions I have ever read. Throw the anchor on the beach? The weeds are in the water not on the beach

Just use the t-weeder and you wont need that extremely dangerous piece of crap cutter

Sharp razor blade, sharp metal teeth…both seem like tools that need to be respected. The T Weeder is similar to the roller I use in step 2 in that it uses serrated teeth to pull out roots. It looks like a good tool though, thanks for the recommendation.

If you have a lake place you’ve probably had problems with mice at some point. I have a method for staying mouse free that doesn’t involve traps, chemicals, or killing mice at all. Oh, and it has a 100% success rate and you’ve probably never seen it. Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-81SmiHi4Mn8.html

Where is “here”? Every state is different obviously and I’m just some guy on the internet that can’t keep up with laws in places I don’t live, BUT, everything I showed in the video is legal in Minnesota. Step 3, the automated blower, is the only thing that requires a permit and we did get one.

Most of my viewers are from the US but that’s a great point. Definitely important to know your local laws about weed removal. Thanks for the comment and I appreciate you watching.
