Glad you got control of your DW . Manual control/ removal is the best method of dealing with plant problems if it meets your need. With as much as you got out and the time it took think how much volume and time it would require if you had a serious problem like the one Kelly posted about. Most people seriously underestimate the vol./weight of plants to be removed. That is why it is wise to stay ahead of the problem and not let it get out of control. ewest
