Why use hot water for weed control? Since manual weeding eliminates the need to use chemicals to remove weeds, this environmental action reduces its environmental impact and helps preserve biodiversity, soil and air. The principle is also very simple: causing a thermal shock bursts plant cells without burning them. This phenomenon is called heat shock. This type of weed control: - is environmentally friendly - can be carried out in any weather, unlike plant protection products, which require certain temperature conditions, with neither wind nor rain - is easy to carry out and requires no maintenance Rainwater can be used for this type of weed control, which is even better for the environment!
