Yeah, I've seen that aquatic weed cutter, Coach, and it looks pretty nifty for hand-trimming unwanted aquatic weeds at pond edges. But that woman wouldn't look nearly so happy in that picture if she were standing beside a thicket of Phragmites. It's just too much to deal with by hand - and it...

I'm afraid I'm not much into DIY projects, guys; they take me too long and never turn out the way I want them to. I appreciate the thought, though! And as I mentioned, Cer, "I really like the idea of mechanizing as much as I can, as I've a lot of property to care for and I'm not getting any...
