I'm not sure if "ring prop" are still benign made, we had a little post on them a few weeks ago http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=80868824 and the prop guard seems the way to go.

You could also try a rope and weed cutter they are like a cutting disc that go on the prop shaft but also cost a few quid. I find sometimes just popping the engine in reverse every now and again can help.
