When it comes to weed killing thew
take time by the forelock at Pansy
Heights. The steam from a boiler
passes through hose into q huge
inverted pan in the garden. The pan
is about forty times bigger than the
ones used to bake the big loaves for the
county fair last fall and is inverted
over a spot of earth where small
plants are to grow. The earth is
thrown up around the pan so the
steam cannot escape when turned on,
the pressure being about IS pounds.
The hot vapor is driven into the earth
and every living thing is cooked to a
depth of about inches, all the animal
life and weed seed cannot survive and
perish. After this process flower seed
are sown or young plants put out
which are never checked by myriads
of weeds or eaten by the bugs which
populate the soil. The steam also
mellows the ground which makes it
fine for working.
