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 Fossil Fuels such as LPG / Propane / CNG etc currently, making this "organic" method not that eco friendly (Re: Greenwashing , grantet least from a NOx / GHG Emissions standpoint, again Sustainability of Agriculture is a complex issue, so broad generalizations (as about everywhere else) tend to not be correct)
  • If done with Biogas , RNG , or Syngas based flames, this could be accessible, effective, and eco friendly
