Will it cut off water lily leaves below water level in a pond? Some pruners cut limbs fine, but not small stems.

I use it primarily for cutting palm fronds, which are quite firm. However, I have used it to trim spent crape myrtle blooms/seed pods, and it works on both wonderfully. Rarely have I been so pleased with a relatively simple product. I think it should work for you, but can't be sure. Just dry off the blades when you are done :)

It works just fine. It will also grip the cut piece if you install the gripper plate according to its instructions, which are included.

Yes - it's so sharp it cuts right through them. You tie a rope to it and throw it out into the pond, then pull it back towards the shore with the rope.

I would say yes, if you are cutting green stalks or fresh growth. I am assuming you have less than a dozen vines. I have a small vineyard, over 200 Niagara and New York Muscat vines and produce about 2,000# a year. I prune mine by hand using an anvil hand pruner as I walk the rows daily, or If I let them go for a couple of weeks, my electric hedge trimmer. I use the LR-3460 to clip, hold and retrieve water plants in my pond. Also on my Wisteria, Rose and Trumpet Vine arbors. Both the Rose and Trumpet vine have new green stalks 1/4" and smaller. The older trumpet vines are woody those larger than " can be hard to cut. In my experience woody or harder skinned plants can require a double cut and can cause the cutter heap to jamb closed. Keeping the cutter head cleaned and sharp can help to reduce this problem but does not totally eliminate it. In my experience I find this tool is useful when the job is small and requires finesse and reach. I would not use this tool to "Get the Job Done" or say when the job will require more than one hour to complete.

Not in my experience. We are using ours to drain our pond and all leaves are caught by the screen at the end of pickup hose.

My experience has been that this is a superb herbicide and will kill everything it touches, which is why I use it. I use it on poison ivy, duck weed, hyacinth, gator grass, etc. I have not used it on water lilies but have no doubt it would kill them either on purpose or accidently. If trying to spray selectively better consult someone in that field.

Most of my leaves were oak with some tulip. I had recently cut back an ornamental grass with blades of up to 24" long. It shread those pretty easily. Most leaves are going to be shread by the string pretty easily.

You could try. It works best for "needle" type herbs. Basil & others have big leaves, much easier to pick them off stems.

This is really a lightweight unit designed for small yards. It does a decent job with small amounts of leaves although I have not used it yet or grass clipping,I doubt that it would be able to used in a sizable way for yard clippings unless the area was very small. Up north we have not yet had to cut the grass yet. When we do...I can try it and let you know.

It works much better on woody parts than soft limbs. It would be best to let them dry first.

NO. Leaves just bog it down and cause it to trip the external circuit breaker. It does, how ever, will shred the leaves that are on the limb you are shredding. That way you do not have to pluck the leaves off the limb. Hope this helped.

Not as well as dry leaves. I cut the limbs and let them set a day to let the leaves dry.

I tried cutting bushes with it. It's insufficient. Hard to hold and does not cut anything very thick.,, however I love the small cutting grass unit.I have 2 of them. When the battery goes down on one I have the other all charged. I never use the longer blade.

They work very well. They will cut Rosemary, basil, mint, chives...and any other herb of decent size. Smaller herbs would be difficult to extract from the blades. I have not put them in the dishwasher. Easy to clean under running water and drain to dry.

This grass is nearly iossible to get rid of. Your best bet is to try to manage it with pulling and digging because the roots are pretty deep and the razor cutter is not designed to go into roots. Even if it were,any breakage would reseed and grow. Some use chemicals but only do a section of the grass and pond at a time so you can rake out dead grass...or you could endanger fish with oxygen depletion. I personally prefer the razor for cattails mostly. It does a great job on them for the money. Hope this helps. If all else fails,get sterile grass carp.

Yes, You need to prune the ferns back...spray them with horticultural oil to get rid of bugs. The tray s are deep easy to catch water. The trays remove to clean things out. Also adjustable lighting above. I will using mine for outdoor plants too.

Hmm..., mine cuts pretty low and gives a clean cut. Sounds like urs is on a higher setting. Did u look at how to lower the blade in the manual? My lawn looks like a golf course.

We used this to successfully get rid on the watermeal in our pond, which is very very hard to kill. This killed all the vegetation in our pond. I would not use this if you are concerned about your water lilies.
