The message

The plan is in two parts. Part one is to dose the whole lot with
lashings of glyphosphate (Roundup 5L with its own sprayer) to kill off
all the weeds including the roots. Part two is to hire a flame gun and
burn off all the now dead vegetation leaving bare soil covered with a
fine dressing of ash.

You be careful. If you kill that lot, and let it dry, and then
set fire to it, you will get the most humungous conflagration
that will not only clear the weeds, but your fences too. Do
you remember what it was like when burning of stubble from
cereal crops was allowed?

Oh yes! If you spray with un-got-at sodium chlorate solution, then wait
for it to dry, a match (or even a fiery glance) will ignite the lot, and
you'll have a mushroom cloud burgeoning over the plot.

From the distance of about a mile I saw that happen to a field of
several acres: it was ignited by something like a bit of bottle-glass
and the sun's rays, and the mushroom cloud rose several hundred feet.

But then, pure sodium chlorate with vegetable matter becomes an
explosive, and ignorant or injudicious use of it presents a very real
danger...
