Weed Torching

Today saw myself and my pal, using the paraffin fuelled weed burner to clear his giant marrow patch. This is am excellent tool for clearing land at the end of a season. Not only does it kill the weed, but also destroys seeds along with any slugs or other nasties. It has the advantage of not having to use weed killers or other chemicals on the land. A brisk wave with the burner today, followed by another tomorrow(to clear the dead debris) and the ground will be turned and tilled ready for covering.
In the spring we will then take a soil sample to determine what adjustments need to be made to get soil into prime marrow growing medium. We'll discuss this nearer to the sowing dates!

Remember....
