The message
from Chris Bacon contains these words: wrote: 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... -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
