Weed control with boiling water

[Denno]

Just thought I'd share with everyone the wisdom I have found.

To kill weeds, root and all, use boiling water . Boil it in the kettle, and as soon as it's boiled, take it out and pour over the top of the weed. I was quick amazed when I did it and it worked.

Hopefully I've just filled the quota for someones daily learning haha

I spilt Kero near the shed, where there was garden/weeds, it all died and nothing grew there for nearly 2 years, I think its time to "spill" some more (Im not really going to hippies)

Didnt think this is what i would be reading about given the topic name...

If your going to use water, you may as well use steam, its twice as good and you use much less water(for the hippies)

[POVRTY]

hey man the hippies (toke)_ would live with the weeds (puff), its worked so far hasn't it? (exhale)...................

We have a flame weed killer. You connect it to a bbq gas bottle and it throws out a flame about a foot long that kills the weed and its root system by heating the ground to over 1000'C
It works really well.

seems a bit extreme for a weed

maybe if you only have one weed but if you have a garden full / large garden it cuts down on back breaking work and time
