We’re in a “no chemicals” area of France and I seem to recall these cooker-weeders have been looked at in the past few years. Doubtless in use in some places.
Seems this gardening company has homed in on a good business angle in UK.
Hi Karen, I’m reasonably sure that’s the hot air/flame gun type. This uses high voltage to actually electrocute the plant by heating internally with electricity, which is a bit different.
Which would you consider the more humane? But more importantly, which would you consider the more effective killing device? (je ne suis pas très woke par les plantes).
I would expect the electric device to be most effective, because it should kill the roots. Probably the most humane thing for plants in general would be to eat vegans.
