That’s what happens with drills. Try drilling a big hole in a piece of metal with a hole saw, that thing loves to try and twist your hand off.

I'm so glad you made this video... My gutt reaction was that for a second it was a crazy idea that somehow made perfect sense in theory, and oh my goodness did it work!!! I go nuts with spraying things but this definitely is making me reconsider how I attack certain areas in my yard. 👏👍 Thank you!

Had I not used it for planting i wouldn't have believed it either hahaha. I did all three areas in 40 minutes. super impressed. I like spray options but these weeds in 3-4 weeks were super established that I would have most likely got spray drift on all my plants. In the end I would have had to cut them all down after they started dying as well to throw them away. Thanks for the comment.

I use a different brand of auger but solely for planting (especially tomatoes) and never thought of using it this way. As @CantankerousDave mentioned these things will do a number on your wrist if you aren't careful. Also, your drill will let the smoke out if you overwork it or hit a lot of rocks or thick roots (ask me how I know).

Have you ever considered composting? If you had some kind of shredder you can run all that through there and use it as a mulch. I'm learning a lot of weeds with deep roots like you have are bringing the good nutrients up from deep down. I noticed a lot of those had seeds so I'm betting you're going to have a problem next year too. The deep root plants pre emergent don't really work good vs them, at least thats been my experience But I really like this tip, no pun intended 😊 thanks ginga

However before I started using weeds I always disposed of them on my property line and just threw them on the ground on unused wooded area. when I come back to those areas I noticed they would always be nice and healthy-looking.. matter of fact from doing it for a few years Ii made some rich soil that I took back to my gardens ha.

Please don’t. It is a powerful poison that kills more than weeds, only when it kills people or animals it works slowly and painfully. I understand the immediate gratification but at what cost? Roundup is no longer available where I live. Eventually it will be outlawed everywhere but for now, people need to be informed and use some common sense. Please consider a non toxic solution to keep you and yours safe.
