Planting carrots into a "stale bed", prepared two weeks before.
Flame weeding just before carrots come up.
Pre-emergent flame weeded carrot bed that was not cultivated or hoed shows contrast between flame-weeded bed and un-flamed path
On this bed we ran a single torch on each row. You can see how many weeds would have been in the row by looking at the weeds between the rows. It is better to flame the whole bed, because it is a hassle to get rid of all the weeds between the rows.
Carrot field at harvest time.
Beets coming up in a flame weeded bed. The weeds in the path to the right are about the same size as the ones in the bed that we flamed.
Beet bed has been cultivated, but the rows have not been weeded.
Cleaning up the few weeds that remain with stirrup hoes.
Direct seeded onion rows that were flamed before emergence, with un-flamed pathway on the right. Thistles on the right popping up from their established root system.
Getting ready for the market.
