H_M_O ℠

H_M_O ℠ (Hydro_Mechanical_Obliteration ℠ ), Total Vegetation Control (© 2009) and H_M_O Rx (Prescribed Vegetation Control by Water Scythe) has set a new precedent in resource conservation and ecological enhancement, providing maximum results without many of the expenses associated with these functions; acquiring, storing, and administering pesticides; clearing, hauling and re-mulching cleared areas. This technique delivers precision removal of noxious, invasive, and flammable vegetation.

This patented method uses low volume water at very high pressure to micro-minimize vegetative matter in-situ.

H_M_O ℠ technique uses an industrial strength high powered water knife to obliterate weeds/vegetation. The H_M_O ℠ apparatus shoots out on average three gallons per minute - less than from a shower head. The water volume depends on the apparatus used and the type of vegetation removal required. The psi (pressure) calibration is adjusted for specific types of vegetation. In the process of "obliterating" the weeds and invasive plants, the remains become a fine grain compost. there is no need to pile, haul and dispose of the material. The mulch that is created by obliterating the undesirable vegetation provides nutrients to the soil. Immediately after obliterating the weeds, a compost tea mixture can be added, then the area can be sown with native seeds or other vegetation.

H_M_O ℠ can quickly clear away brush and provides a licensed technician access hard to reach places like canyons, as well as hard to mow areas like fence lines, along building, around trees, around play ground equipment, and even around delicate desirable vegetation. If nothing is seeded after H_M_O ℠, unwanted vegetation will sprout up. However, it won't grow as high and will be easier to clear the next time. This method is environmentally friendly and it's fast: On average one licensed operator can clear 1 acre in about 6 to 8 hours. For Invasive/restoration projects, the process is slower: the average is 1/3 to 1/4 acre per day. The patented process can be used only by a licensed operator. A regular power washer can be adapted to do the job or a customized apparatus can be made to order.
