the sun is out, nitrate levels up and slipways are getting covered with slippery green stuff.
deck scrubbers are not up to it. chemicals are a problem in a drinking water res. what is the solution? |

Gerni on a trolley with a pump and either a long leccy lead or a small genset.
Picks up water from reservoir and washes it back there. Non-trivial investment, but long term saving in scrubbing backaches, and bruised bums or worse from falls. |

I heard scattering the ash from freshly burned solos helps.

Think about it: do you really think adding more slime will help? |
