Weed Dragon
While we were on our daughter's farm last week we cleared her erstwhile
vegetable garden of perennial weed top growth by cutting by brush cutter and secateurs. There were nettles, dock, thistles, brambles, grass etc. - the usual culprits. Because of a miscarriage, bad pregnancy, a new baby, father's depression, hospitalisation due to abdominal abscess and cancer and subsequent treatment (a sorry story but it needs to be explained so that no-one criticises for neglect) the plot has been unattended for two years. Before then it was very productive and grew the best vegetables I've ever tasted - especially parsnips. We want to encourage a renewal of the cultivation so would like to provide daughter with whatever means possible to rid the plot of the weeds and we thought about the Weed Dragon. I realise that it would have to be used several times to rid the new growth from the roots but if it isn't suitable I'd like to know what other solutions people here can suggest. I must add that this plot is on an organic farm, chemical control is not an option. A cultivator would seem to us to be inefficient because it would spread roots. but we're willing to be advised.
