Tumbleweed problems

[Stephen Blair]

I couldn't believe this when I saw something similar on telly last night!

A small bush has 200,000 seeds and when they roll they spread them!

Enjoy:001_smile:

i saw that to but i never realised it was such a problem though.

 

i did like the solution that fella had come up with though, search and destroy...

[Stephen Blair]

The doing it by hand would be sole destroying , I think they need a forage harvester idea for biomass, just drive up and down the roads. I think the scale and volume would be mind blowing though!!

Last months national geographic had a big write up on it. It was apparently bought over from Russia in the 50s in grain seed. Quite amazing what a little plant has accomplished. There was some great pics of it filling whole storm drains.

Someone bet me too it!

It took them how long exactly to come up with that idea?????

 

That's a "back of a fag packet" idea. Could have done the same thing while I was on the toilet.......

 

But there are just two words I can think of at the mo. ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE...

I reckon most snow blowers would that job just fine.

I think they are trying to keep the seeds attached to the bush would a snow blower not be a little bit aggressive for that purpose. I've never seen a snow blower in action just on film so may be wrong. Plus is there not a screw to drive the snow up the chute would this not get jammed.

Can you imagine calling the snow blower company and saying you live in a desert:lol:
