OXYTURBO pyroweederadicator
environmentally friendly and non-toxic method of
disposing of unsightly weeds on patios, driveways,
paths, etc. This product is not intended for use on
lawns and flower beds.
When the flame is applied to the upper part of the
weeds, it dehydrates their leaves and dries them
up.
The weeds are not supposed to be burned, but
instead only heated with the flame ends. So keep
a suitable distance between the flame ends and the
plants.
In case of stronger weeds (wild cabbage, taproot
growth, etc.), the heating effect should be applied
for a longer time as compared to normal weeds and
a repeated tratment may be necessary after few
days.
