Knobber, take a look at this video and see if maybe this might help you? At least it would help you get the shore line cleared and then maybe wind would move more algae to the shore again?

If you had a front end loader or dump style trailer of some type you could discharge into the trailer or FEL to let the water drain out and then dump in a pile in the woods.

I leave my algae in a pile just far enough away that it can't get nutrients back into the pond. It dries out pretty quickly but not enough to burn unless it is spread thin say around plants in a garden.

I have a small tractor with loader so now it is easier for me to move the semi-dry piles. I try to mix some leaves in with the algae and this year I'm dumping large scoops of leaves/algae and compost into my chicken coop. The chickens dig through it for any worms or bugs and in the process of spreading it all out for me and clawing through it they rapidly turn it into regular dirt for me.

hm... can't get the inline link of the youtube video to embed into the post using the embed video option in the full screen editor. Maybe someone else can test on their end to see if that is true for me only or for everyone.

I'll just put the link here and you'll have to copy/paste it or click the link to open it.
