These pokers are over 5ft high - I love them and plan to fill the front area with them and agapanthus so as to minimise work. I grow a lot of winter weeds for the chooks out front as well. The orange is really vibrant now that it has started drizzling. It's fun watching the birds swinging around...

The Shark crevice nozzle would be perfect for direct zapping of weeds. I'm sure that's similar to what this steam weeder uses. I might get one myself, it will save me lugging around a kettle of boiling water.
