Burn it with Water
Device to turn your weeds into compost, not toxins, and also do some nice watering. | |
This is a backpack mounted device with a small two-stroke engine, used for electricity generation. The electricity powers a coil in a large cannister of water making up the bulk of the backpack. There are two outlets from the cannister; below the water level and above, and an attached sprayer to switch
between the two. Some models could have an attached hose for longer operation.
This allows for this sort of action:
A homeowner, awakes.
The sun is rising.
The clouds are coming.
And outside, he knows the weeds are growing!
Hat on! Shirt on! Pants on! Feet on the floor!
Wasting no time, get out of the door!
Into the shed and into your contraption
Off to the backyard to get into weed action!
Spraying and steaming and wilting the weeds!
Cooking and boiling and poaching weed seeds!
Steam for bad leaves, water for the ground,
All with a rumbling two-stroke sound!
Then throw down some carrots, courgettes and some pea!
Safe knowing they live in a land more or less weed-free!
Or snail free! Or frogs! or small cats and dogs!
The one caveat you should not do this in togs!

I actually want this device. I am on a steep hill so I need the backpack.
How to kill life in chunks of dirt without poisoning everything? Maybe
even microwaving? i have so many weeds the solutions all have to be
metaphorically nuclear, and they have seeds down deep. |
|
| |
I like that steam mower.. I will bun it. |

This is without a doubt the best poem I've read all day, and an interesting idea to-boot. (+) |
|
| |
Would it work though? Would the same concept drive away insects without harming the plant?
If so it's a winner. |
|
| |
"What do we burn apart from weeds?" |
|
| |
Um, what's a tog? Is it like an Ugg or a clog? |
|
| |
It's like your pants but with less legs. |
|
| |
So, boil plants while naked? Let me snap a video for the grand
prize when the hilarity commences... |
|
| |
Togs is what you wear to the beach. This is what they tell
me. |
|
| |
// Togs is what you wear to the beach. // |
|
| |
Gr. "Tog is what you wear at the beach" -nonsensical, since
"togs"is always plural, hence"Togs are what you wear at the
beach" is the only correct form. |
|
| |
// This is what they tell me. // |
|
| |
Who do, the voices in your head ... ? |
|
| |
//Togs is what you wear to the beach// You are clearly living in the wrong country. "Togs" is a general term for clothes. |
|
| |
// living in the wrong country. // |
|
| |
Living in the wrong reality, more like ... |
|
| |
'Togs', as a singular concept, around which conversations can
be had, IS what you wear at the beach. It's just one concept
you are wearing. And you are not wearing pants. |
|
| |
On my spherical sector, togs, the word, is synonymous with
the words 'swimming costume'. |
|
| |
// togs is synonymous with swimming costume. // |
|
| |
Gr. "togs are synonymous with swimming costumes." |
|
| |
Togs are swimming clothes. |
|
| |
(A tog is a swimming clothe?) |
|
| |
Togs is a synonym for swimming costume. |
|
| |
(Togses is a synonym for swimming costumes?) |
|
| |
"Togses" sounds a bit like "toxins", now you mention it. |
|
| |
Do they have related meanings in this idea? |
|
| |
This is a no togses idea. |
