Saturated Steam is an environmentally friendly chemical free alternative to using herbicide to control weeds around wetlands and waterways. Recently, we began a pilot program in the Southern Grampians.
We treated grasses and broad leaf species on the waters edge of Lake Hamilton. The area shown in this video was once known as the local inland beach but is now infested with exotic vegetation. The steam applicator head was used to treat the infestation growing in the sand and in the shallow waters edge of the lake.
Super heated steam bursts the cells of the plant causing it to die. The steam treatment will significantly reduce the weed infestation over several treatments to expose the sand and restore the beach. Steam is 100% herbicide chemical free, and safe to use around sensitive ‘No Spray’ zones and waterways.
