The time has come for a safe, effective alternative to traditional chemical herbicides. Here at Ecological Weeding Techniques, we are taking a pro-active approach, using only non-toxic weed control methods. With recent developments in the field of weed control using thermal technology, we believe that the time has come where new techniques can now rival traditional methods in terms or cost and speed of application. These new methods also have the added benefits of being environmentally friendly and not subject to ever-increasing regulatory pressures. The balancing act of environmental concerns, statutory obligations and smaller budgets has become an ever more complex problem.
