I would estimate the coontail at 20-30%. The problem for us is that it is blocking access for many of the residents. Beaches and docks are useless. While I agree that it is on the late side for using chemicals, we have some Hydrothol 191 remaining from this spring and the membership has voted collectively to use it to open access points. I am going to reluctantly apply in strategic areas and promote the harvest of the dead material.
Thank you for the complement. I am actually looking into starting my own business doing this sort of thing. I really like the challenge and there is a shortage of people doing it around Eastern Iowa.
