ABSTRACT:
A weeder capable of removing large and small sized weeds from inland waterways is arranged for towing off the back of a row boat as well as for manual operation. The weeder is in the form of a rectangular expanded metal section pivotally attached to towing ropes at opposite ends. The sides of the expanded metal section are sheared to form a V-groove or slot configuration for trapping the weeds along the bed of the waterway where the roots meet the weed stalk. The expanded metal perforations allow the weeds to be carried to the surface of the water while allowing the water to escape between the perforations. One side of the expanded metal section is provided with an additional expanded metal section to form V-grooves of smaller width to remove the smaller weeds.
