Milfoil in Winter Harbor

The only solution that I know of is to gently dig up the roots so that they don't break off.On some busy days I find 10 or 12 3' strands of milfoil washed up on my beach.When I see them on the bottom,I use a snow rake to drag them in before they take root.This has worked so far because I have no established plants around my dock or beach dispite a huge field about 1/4 mile from me.The prevailing winds bring it right too me when boats chop it loose so i have to check almost daily.
Oh,by the way....the snow rake works great for removing any silt or leaves that settle on bottom.
