The ditch rake is ideal for cultivating and controlling the flora in ponds and waterways. The four long forged and cone shaped stainless steel tines make it easy to release and remove unwanted water and shore plants. The tines are not sharpened as to no cut through the plants but to lift them out of the water intact. To keep a good balance in your pond or waterway, it is recommended that excess water plants are removed to allow enough light to enter. The ditch rake can also be used to prepare sowing beds and to level the ground when it is flipped upside down.
