Weed Doctor

I’ve been called the Weed Doctor and no, it’s not for the reason you think, it has nothing to do with marijuana. It’s because I’ve been studying lake weeds for a long time. In the distant past I searched for ways of conquering them, beating them into submission. As I learned more about the ecosystems of lakes I began searching for ways to manage them. 

By the way, my Skype name is “weeddoctor.” So hey, why not come up and Skype me sometime? 

If you have lake weed questions, email me, the Weed Doctor, at doug@lakemat.com
