Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Has anyone used a weed cutter like this?

I have used that cutter. It works best on weeds that will float after they have been cut. It will even cut reeds and water lily stems. The blades are extremly sharp. You must be carefull when using it and cleaning weed stems off the blades. I have used it for eel grass and curly leaf pondweed, and long leaf pondweed. If you are not very careful, you can very easily put a deep cut in your hands or fingers when using it. It should work okay on sago pond weed. The cutting range is limited by how far you can throw it out into the pond from shore.

I would think that you should only have to cut & clean out the sago pond weed only once each year to maintain clear areas in the pond. I am not sure of the best time to cut sago pondweed, but I think it would be right before or after it sends seeds to the surface. Regrowth for that year should then be minimal.
