Basics

  • Non-Chemical Weeding via essentially "blanching" the weeds via hot flames + gas around said flame
  • Effective yet imprecise, mainly used in between rows
  • Looks metal af too which is a plus?
  • Often done with LPG / Propane / CNG etc currently making this "organic" method not always eco friendly (at least on a NOx / CO2 emmissions standpoint, again complex issues)
  • If done with Biogas , RNG , or Syngas based flames, this could be accessable, effective, and eco friendly
