The blast of heat will do enough damage to the plant cells for them to wilt and die back in a day or two. Even our tiddly gas powered flame gun just needs a waft over let alone a brute like an X300. -- Cheers Dave. |

I've read the same thing here. I have no personal experience of using a flame gun. I did look up the mix for making napalm but thought urg was an inappropriate place to post it ) The gardener of the household found horses tails at the allotment, that had survived more than a year of having the ground where they grew covered with dense black plastic. -- Martin Your gardener will find, as I did in England, it takes napalm to get rid of it. I took up the plants in the affected bed, which adjoined a field, trampled it with hob nailed boots, actually gold ones, and broke the tough outer covering of the "tail". I mixed a little detergent with the glycostuff, most were killed but I had to do second and third applications on others bits. Unfortunately the field was covered in it so it was only a matter of time before it encroached again. I wanted, before Contracts were exchanged, to dig up a young shrub that Sacha gave me to bring it to France. I dare not in case the dreaded weed came with it. I will buy one in France to replace the one that Sacha gave me. Judith |

I think not - although some were taken of me last night dancing - they will be destroyed a.s.a.p.; I didn't know I could look so daft!!! Now on topic - what a storm we had here last night, did you get it your way? I planted a melange of salad seeds, I wonder if they will come up in straight lines as they must have been bounced out of the soil with the force of the rain and hailstones. Judith |

It started to cloud over this afternoon, but the cloud has gone since, It feels a bit thundery.http://www.meteox.com/h.aspx?r=&jaar=-3&soort=loop1uur -- Martin Look you, I have only just learned from Sacha how to post a pic and now I want to post another one and can't find the instructions!!! UTube is a mystery to me, the only time I have ever looked at it is when people post links, what is the purpose of UTube? Judith |
