Tree-Savers: The Warning Sign

"HWA is capable of explosive rates of population increase" – Dr. Carole Cheah

HWA is dangerously communicable. It spreads from tree to tree, property to property, forest to forest and beyond. The woolly egg sacks open releasing hundreds and thousands of crawlers that fall like sand and blow in the wind, are carried by birds and drop onto other animals, people and objects. Any medium is capable of transferring the pest from tree to tree. The results are catastrophic. Discolored and falling needles are just the first signs that your trees are in serious trouble.

Duck Hunting and Goose Hunting in Ice Covered Water

We've all been there; fall turns to winter faster than anticipated and suddenly your favorite waterfowl pond is frozen over.

To extend your season beyond the first coating of ice, Weeders Digest has introduced an innovative way to expand your accessibility with the all new 12volt Ice Blaster Duck Pond Deicer.

The Ice Blaster can be used to remove ice with the movement of constant, noiseless water current. It brings the warm water from the bottom to the surface creating open water for the ducks to land. It will also keep duck decoys swimming all season long. You can see it in action at http://www.IceBlaster.org

The DC motor on the Ice Blaster can be run from a common 12 Volt, deep cycle marine battery. The 35' waterproof power cord is included. Light weight enough to be carried and used anywhere, it has a built in handle for ease in carrying. The Ice Blaster can run up to 5 hours on a single 100 amp hour rated marine battery and clear up to 2,000 sq ft. A minimum of 2' of water is needed for optimum use. This could vary depending upon the conditions.

When ready to move to another area there are four easily positioned legs fold up. Hanging the de-icer from a blind or boat is possible with the 2 ropes that are included. An optional mount can be purchased for attaching it to a dock. You can also use it to create aeration by angling the adjustable head upward.

Heavy duty with high quality, durable finishes, this product will help extend your hunting season and give more results with you decoy spread. What could be more enticing to ducks than open water with other ducks bopping around!

Waterfowl hunters throughout the Northern climates who use the Ice Blaster Pond Deicer are thrilled to know that they now have just a bit more control over when their season will ultimately end due to the weather conditions.

Selecting the Correct Pond Fountain for your Water Feature

Floating pond/lake decorative and aerating fountains are essential for clarifying pond water and creating aesthetically pleasing "water gardens". Our fountains are used in both residential and commercials markets including golf courses, private ponds and lakes, apartment complexes, corporate displays, homeowners associations, and many other locations that want to improve water quality or aesthetics!

There are two primary types of floating fountains, decorative and aerating. Decorative fountains offer multiple and unique spray patterns that can exceed 20' in height! They do offer some aeration benefits, but their primary function is to help beautify your body of water. Decorative fountains also offer low operating costs and you can also add lighting for nighttime viewing.

Aerating fountains feature more of a constant flow V-shaped spray pattern no more then 8' in height. The primary mission is to circulate water and the additional aeration and water circulation helps reduce new algae growth and provides greater levels of oxygen to prevent water stratification so that aquatic wildlife can thrive!

Fountains include the floating device, the fountain pump, and mooring lines to secure it in place. Fountains are available in either 120 V or 240 V and include the control panel and submersible power cords ranging from 50'-500' in length. Lighting is also available in either double to triple light kits and typically include colored lenses so that you can rotate colors.

The Weeder's Digest is a national company that offers a complete line of both types of floating fountains from 1/2 hp up to 5 hp! Lake Weeder's Digest are experts in lake and pond management and can help explain the differences between fountains and which will perform best in the control of algae, destratification, and eliminating unwanted pond odors and mosquito populations.

Pier Deicing 101 - How to Protect Your Dock from Ice Damage

The idea behind keeping ice away from the dock, boathouse or pilings is to reduce the damage caused by ice floes or ice pressure buildup that can actually shift dock pilings and boat house structures resulting in some expensive repairs.

The principle of keeping a dock or marina clear of ice is to ensure that the natural crushing pressure of ice is not able to squeeze the structure. Ice is so powerful that it can literally lift lake bed pilings out of their footings and cause thousands of dollars of damage.

While ice usually forms in shallow or areas in lakes and ponds without circulation it is important to remember that early ice formations can occur in November in some areas. While typical ice thickness will not maintain a constant spread until December in most Northern Latitudes the freezing of ponds can occur without warning so it makes sense to add a de-icer before December!

The principal types of automatic systems for protecting marinas and docks from ice damage can be broken down into two main types: the submersed de-icer and the dock mount water circulator.

De-icers involve placing a heavy-duty submersible motor that drives a rugged propeller in continuous duty to draw warm waters from the depths of the pond or lake towards the surface. The warmer waters at the bottom of the pond usually maintain a temperature of around 39 Fahrenheit and by bringing them rapidly to the surface in a directed thrusting stream they can keep large areas of open water even in the coldest of winter temperatures.

The standard de-icer works best when you have deeper waters around the dock but keep in mind that even a de-icer aimed at the shallow shoreline, if it originates in waters of 12' deep, can create a large opening under the entire dock structure. The size of the opening depends on the overall air temperature. A 1/2 HP de-icer can open up a hole in the ice up to 60 feet in diameter!

One website that offers tools tips and tricks to manage the ice around your dock can be found at http://www.LakeDeicer.com .

When a dock is in shallow water, the deicer may not work as well because it needs to push warmer water to the surface in order to be effective. When waters are 6 feet deep or less there is less temperature stratification in the water and even the water at the very bottom can be too cold to effectively melt surface ice. In these conditions, Lake Weeder's Digest's water circulators work best because they offer 1/2, 3/4, and 1 hp water models with dock mount or free standing frames that rest on the lake/pond bottom. Multiple units can even be mounted together to maintain large areas of ice-free water.
