Thanks Brian,
I used an 8' 2X4 and drove 16d nails through it from both sides about 6" apart; tied a rope to it and dragged it through the moss. Then I took a leaf rake for lack of any other kind, and pulled the filamentous moss up on the bank. I got rid of about a 1/3 of it. Now I need a ensilage fork to pick it up and haul it away. I believe with a couple of helpers I could get that job done in just a few more hours.
This being a city lake, the water department has been treating it monthly with 1 gallon of Cutrine Plus. I can't understand why it hasn't killed the moss. Can someone shed some light on that?
thanks,
dan
