Steam weeding is the process of killing weeds using saturated steam
- Water is heated to 98 – 103 degress Celsius
- The steam is delivered at low pressure, but high volume
- The heat causes the weeds cells to literally explode
- Results are fast – hours, not days
Why is steam weeding better than traditional methods?
