The prickly rope is my best ever pond cleanup tool for mid summer floating stuff blues. I've got a system down in my pond where it only takes me 1 to 2 hours to do a complete cleanup.
Can you be more specific on how you do this? I get you are using a floating rope to corral the stuff but what do you do to the rope to make it "prickly?"

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
