you get a weed cutter mate its like a twisted saw blade in 4 foot sections with length of chain at either side so it can be as long as you want, and you pull it back and forward cuts it easy, done it loads of times with a length of rope on both sides with a guy on the bank and one on the boat.

the problem with ripping it out by the roots is you will take lots of cadis and other bugs that will die on the bank and the silt can get destabalised causing the place to get very murky in a high wind. well thats what we found anyway.

 

great job in the nice weather. :thumbup1:
