Overcoming the Pain of Weeding in the Garden!

Weeding is a real pain, right? Often this is a literal fact as well as a metaphorical one! Well I currently have access to a product I had not previously been aware of that makes weeding much less of a pain. I have a good stock at the moment, but these weeders are so well priced I expect them to sell out fairly quickly so you'd better get your order in quick.

After quite literally years of fighting my own Infinity War with the weeds on my patio, using every method I could find, from weed killing chemicals to patio scrubbers to pressure washers, the Sievert Gardener was a bit of a break-through for me!

In fact, weed fighting with heat is nothing new. It has been used by professional gardeners for a long time. With this method weeds on patios, terraces and paved paths, kerbs and so on, can be treated in a non-toxic and environmentally friendly way.

You simply sweep the burner slowly about 5cm above the weeds. The plant should be heated - not burnt. The heating causes the cell walls in the plant to burst and the plant dies of drying out. A simple procedure to check that this has taken place is to press a leaf between the fingertips. This should leave a dark green fingerprint. After two to three days the leaves will have completely wilted and all you need to do is to sweep up and compost. The treatment is most effective in the Spring when the plants are small and have a limited resistance. The treatment must be repeated a couple of weeks apart during the planting season. A final treatment late in Autumn is also useful to destroy the seeds which will become next years weeds.

The Sievert Gardener is not suitable for use on lawns however and if you enjoy gardening, but want to save your back and knees a bit of strain, you might also be interested in this Garden Kneeler which combines the functions of a garden kneeler, stool and storage box in one. The Garden Kneeler allows you to kneel in cushioned comfort or turn it over to sit at the correct height for many gardening chores. Manufactured from a heavy-duty, impact resistant plastic frame, with an inset rubber seat and integral foam kneeler. The stool's cleverly designed legs have integrated hand grips, that serve as supporting arms to assist you when kneeling down or standing up again. The under seat storage compartment is useful for storing secateurs, gloves or other small hand tools. This dual-purpose kneeler is especially useful if the ground is wet or muddy, but it also has multiple uses around the home when working while sitting or kneeling is required.
