You're going to zip them tight on the rope. They shouldnt spin and that little tag you leave hanging will help grap the scum. I suggested spacing them 2", but you can put them as close as you want. I wouldnt go more than two inches tho. I would think the more you put, the better they'll grab hold of the mass.

Some of the algae will get past it, naturally, but as it starts piling up that mass should start sliding toward the shore you're pushing to. Itll take a couple of passes to get it all.

Spread out a tarp on the ground where you start raking it out and pile it up, then haul it as far away from the pond as you can. You dont want it to wash back in. One of those really wide plastic yard rakes work really well. Just dont overload with times. FA is quite heavy when it's full of water.
