Giant Hogweed control with a Scythe
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Long ago in the Russian hills a Victorian explorer found the regal Hogweed by a marsh, he captured it and brought it home to London and made a present of the Hogweed to the Royal Gardens at Kew.
Fashionable country gentlemen had some cultivated wild gardens in which they innocently planted the Giant Hogweed throughout the land. Soon they escaped, spreading their seed, preparing for an onslaught, threatening the human race. They seem invincible: immune to all our herbicidal battering.
But, strike by SCYTHE, and they are defenceless: but wear PPE as they use the sun to photosensitize their venom!
(text adapted from song lyrics “Return of the Giant Hogweed” by Genesis)

I genuinely learned a lot from this clip about Hogweed that I never knew. Those gunshots in the end just completed this masterpiece!
"Scnicking"? Premature commentary- I thought a clever observation would help, so I began typing part way into your saga. If I had only waited to the end of this great video, I could have avoided the total embarrassment of exposing my ignorance of Lewis Carroll's brilliance. Thank-you, I think.

* Scnick. I have added the letter c here to snicker-snack to create an onomatopoeic verb to scnick: to slice or sever with a scythe (as opposed to with a ‘snickersnee’ = a large sword-like knife, especially one used as a weapon). Pronounce as Schnitz (cut, slice - as in Schnitzel), and as the sound of a scythe blade slicing through vegetation.

Holy Crap this is AMAZING!!! One of the best videos on KZread!
I respect Richard Brown. Most other youtubers would resort to some clickbait uploads to take advantage of a video going viral. Not Boomer Brown. He uploads when he has some good scythe action to show you, and keeps his mouth shut otherwise. And now I know how best to deal with a Hogwart outbreak if my garden ever becomes infested.
Lovely editing!!! Your battle with hogweed is very enjoyable to watch

Giant hogweed.
How satisfying to watch though - the Grim Reaper at work. Let them grow and be impressive until July, then scythe them before the umrellas turn to seed. All without herbicide.
these videos are very informative and entertaining. thank you
Love the video sir! you got nice smooth narration and helpful information for the new generation.
Nice one Richard. Informative and funny in equal measure.
Just checking in, are you doing alright? We haven’t seen you in a while.
Nice video, Mr. Brown. We love watching your videos!
Loving the content Mr Brown. Could you perhaps show us in your next video how you sharpen or maintain your scythe?
Very nice vid Richard keep posting them they are amazing.

That was so satisfying. Thank you for the giggle.

Great and informative! Thanks for sharing. The shotgun was a nice touch
The legend is back
His voice is SO relaxing 😩🌿
The English rock band, Genesis wrote and recorded a song about this infamous plant. It’s called “The Return of the Giant Hogweed”.
Best video I've seen in awhile.
Love the sound effects!
This was a hoot. Great scything.
Some fun editing there!
Have you tried digging the young plants out? A vintage dock grubber or the more modern version sold as ragwort forks work well. Dig them up at seedling stage in the spring, easy enough to spot the distinctive leaves and stem colour even when very small.
Awesome sound effects :D
very satisfying. lovely video.
Woe well done bro u so good at this stuff :)
Very cool Richard brown!
Been waiting two years for this
im glad to see he is still ok
Yes, the king is back
I recently discovered that I am ALLERGIC to hogweed. It makes me cough real bad, but I haven't gotten close enough to it to see what kind of reactions I have.
This seems like a very good video, Mr Brown. Oh, I just came here from the scythe video.
You are a Genesis fan for sure. Return of the Giant Hogweed. A classic!
I can listen to this guys voice all day.
So very beautiful. We love them
Why do I love his voice so much

Lol, nice video. Also, does hogweed grow underground root systems, or do they grow only by the spread of their seed?
great stuff
Keep posting bro
The king has returned
Nice work with that scythe! But what are you doing with the plants you cut down? I noticed some flower head portions close to seed. What about the roots. ? I know hemlock well but not hogtied. I'd say there will be a bumper crop next year
GOD YES HES BACK
How are you, sir? I hope you've been doing well. We need a new video from you soon! Take care! ❤
I recently watched a video on KZread about the spread of Giant Hogweed in Russia. At one time, in the old Soviet Union, it was cultivated for animal food until they found out about the problems it causes the animals to which it was being fed. But when the cultivation ended, no attempt has ever been made to eradicate or even control it resulting in a horrendous spread of the dangerous weed over vast swathes of the country -- grass verges on motorways are lined with the stuff.
I love this
the sound effects were great 😂
gotta say it must be exhilarating cutting such big things in one fell swoop.
Whered you go🥺
Fire,,,,,,,,,, your welcome.👍🏻🍻🇨🇦
Very satisfying. I wonder what that area is looking like now?
Ya the grim reaper is back!
imagine if it’s stalks were woody and hard. Would be much more difficult. But I suppose it wouldn’t be the same plant by then, it would grow differently and have different effects

Now we're talking.
I lost it when he started "shotgunning" the weeds. xDD
Sir, you haven't uploaded anything recent yet. I hope you are okay. ❤
I’m in Tennessee, US. We’re told to stay away from Giant hogweed, Poison hemlock, and Spotted water hemlock. I see them sometimes when I go through the dense forest area of my backyard
this monster looks beautiful though.
if you burn the plant among brushwood the fumes are toxic too?
word on the streets is he has 6000+ confirmed hogweed kills
Slay them all!
I have this issue in Alaska LAST YEAR I chopped it down put cardboard down heavy so it COULD NOT get light 💡 It worked good so I doing a larger spot this year 🌤 The card board just dissipates all by its self by the next spring
This seems hectic
Also, what i’ve learned as Hogweed here in NC is a red orange colored stem with many green little flowers or perhaps little balls attached to the tips. In any case, we had one in our field that must have survived mowing and grew up past 10+ ft tall. I may be thinking of a different word than hogweed though. Let me look it up

Actually it is called Redroot amaranth. Called Pigweed. i’ve noticed that different specimens had different shapes, some ornate and symmetrical and some not.

Liked just for the shotgun sound
Is the sap easy to wash off the scythe or is it really sticky? Does it spray when you cut it down?

Would cutting just below the 1st node of the stem increase chances of root rot in the plant?
