As one who is currently suffering from an overload of caustic remarks after recommending, in innocence, a Roundup container, (I was recommending the container which allows you to fill a small plastic gun/nozzle via a plunger and then spray rather than the chemical therein) I can sympathise! However I used a flame gun to go along the bottom of hedges, especially in the damp or in the winter when my hawthorn doesn't have leaves. The gun is not intended to burn up the foliage but rather to heat treat it and it will die, then you go along a couple of weeks later and redo it and the foliage will burn up easily,. |This shouldn't affect the wire nor the hedges and should be safe. I also use the gun on patios etc where there are ponds about and birds, this way the moss and weed get killed off but there's no dangerous substances to lay around Just a thought. And a good one at that. See doidnt hurt did it? |
