"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.
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.
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.
Pretty much everyone missed your Genesis reference. I got it. They are indeed immune to all our herbicidal battering! And really you should Strike at night, they are defenseless!
Ohyeah! Down with those giant superhogweeds! You are a marvel hero!!! I feel anxiety looking at these huge aliens. But you save the planet from the intruders! I’d lolove to see more.
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.
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.
I recently watched a video on RUclips 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’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
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
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
Those plants shouldn't be there. That's an enormous ecological hazard to the area and if left uncontrolled they could spread country wide. That needs to be a priority for the gov't.
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.
Hey, if you leave the flowers on the floor, it will continue transforming in seeds and after will go to the ground, making each plant 20.000 new plants for next years!
The best way to eliminate this type of plant is to cut it down just before it produces seeds. Then collect the cuttings and burn them. Now, you can go another step and put salt and borax mixed 50/50 into the cut shaft. This may ruin some grass and you may have to repeat the process yearly for a couple of years to stop the cycle of the plant.
My vote is for the descendants of the chap - from the Victorian era - who first introduced them into the country, to spend some time with the eradication of this menace of a plant.
His voice sounds like those narrators in disney movies
I can also see nation geographic/animal planet
Drake Steel and here is the elegant... plant. I will now chop it with my scythe
It does 🤣
he should totally narrate documentaries
This is definitely not funny, dummy! Do not try getting exposed to it.
Scythe man is back in business! You love to see it!
Mr Brown! You handle that scythe like a man on a mission... truly an inspiration. Best content I’ve seen today 🙌
Breaking Bad
3:59 I laughed so hard at this thank you so much
The shotgun def caught me off guard lol
I genuinely learned a lot from this clip about Hogweed that I never knew. Those gunshots in the end just completed this masterpiece!
I’ve waited for this moment so long
Why
Ive been waiting for you for so long
@@dhdhsheejrj He hadn’t uploaded in a while mate.
@@colonelsanders1349 All this time had passed him by.
@@Womberto It doesnt seem to matter now
Not sure why I'm here. Not sure why I'm watching. Not sure why I'm subscribing.

Richard Brown dang your cool
Richard Brown hi
@@wildseed01 glorious videos
Love the shotgun sound effects.
I don’t know how I found this Channel but goddamn I’m glad I did

This man is a G. Show us how to sharpen your beloved apparatus of Just destruction!
He came back when we needed him the most

It's been two months ಥ‿ಥ
You should have glasses and a face covering on doing that as scything can whip up sap and it could land on you’re face or eyes.

Lovely editing!!! Your battle with hogweed is very enjoyable to watch
Giant hogweed.
these videos are very informative and entertaining. thank you
Loving the content Mr Brown. Could you perhaps show us in your next video how you sharpen or maintain your scythe?
His voice is SO relaxing 😩🌿
The return of a legend!
Me in Biology and Geography: SLeeps
Me when i see this guy talking about plants: IM WIDE AWAKE
Love the reloading sounds. 😆 great video and extremely helpful for identifying them in their natural habitat. Thank you.
Nice video, Mr. Brown. We love watching your videos!
I may or may not be watching this at 4 a.m but man this is content
Nice one Richard. Informative and funny in equal measure.
5am and I’m binge watching on this Chanel
Very nice vid Richard keep posting them they are amazing.
i would smash
You are a Genesis fan for sure. Return of the Giant Hogweed. A classic!
Ohyeah!
Down with those giant superhogweeds!
You are a marvel hero!!!
I feel anxiety looking at these huge aliens.
But you save the planet from the intruders!
I’d lolove to see more.
Just checking in, are you doing alright? We haven’t seen you in a while.

The English rock band, Genesis wrote and recorded a song about this infamous plant. It’s called “The Return of the Giant Hogweed”.
I was looking for this commenti 😅
Behold, the Hogweed Slayer
This was a hoot. Great scything.
I personally use a Flame thrower to get rid of those. ;)
Love the video sir! you got nice smooth narration and helpful information for the new generation.
I think the Victorian gareners also bought over himalayan Balsam as well
And Japanese knotweed
I wouldn’t do this without gloves.
im glad to see he is still ok

very satisfying. lovely video.
At least thats not the Russian variant
Great and informative! Thanks for sharing. The shotgun was a nice touch
Why do I love his voice so much
Slay them all!
Holy Crap this is AMAZING!!!
One of the best videos on RUclips!
Very cool Richard brown!
There is no dislikes... Yet. But i don't want someone to dislike this and i won't dislike this. Great content! 👍.
Still no dislikes
I can listen to this guys voice all day.
I love this youtube channel
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
How are you, sir? I hope you've been doing well. We need a new video from you soon! Take care! ❤
Yes, the king is back
Very interesting, never knew hogweed was such a problem in the UK
Giant hogweed.
The legend is back
So satisfying to watch!! I enjoyed it so much!
Sir, you haven't uploaded anything recent yet. I hope you are okay. ❤
your videos are such a joy to watch, i really hope you make more
Those plants shouldn't be there. That's an enormous ecological hazard to the area and if left uncontrolled they could spread country wide. That needs to be a priority for the gov't.
Stood next to it its a monster
BTW giant hogweed at stirling been cut down
That was so satisfying. Thank you for the giggle.
gotta say it must be exhilarating cutting such big things in one fell swoop.
Awesome sound effects :D
happy to see you're still scythin' brother ... LOL the gun edits :D
Whered you go🥺

I lost it when he started "shotgunning" the weeds. xDD
GOD YES HES BACK
This seems like a very good video, Mr Brown. Oh, I just came here from the scythe video.
Been waiting two years for this
I want this 3:50 but instead of gunshots it will be about 40K chaos because that really fits this
I'm subscribed now, I love your content!
Love the sound effects!
Hey, if you leave the flowers on the floor, it will continue transforming in seeds and after will go to the ground, making each plant 20.000 new plants for next years!
Lol, nice video. Also, does hogweed grow underground root systems, or do they grow only by the spread of their seed?
nice videos make more its very informational and interesting
The Triffids have met their match! (Someone alert Genesis!)
Best video I've seen in awhile.
Some fun editing there!

Even the smoke from them is very toxic.
this monster looks beautiful though.
DOOM Diurnal , with the B.F.S. attacking, G.H.W
"Herbicidal Battering".. we all know where that came from, don't we..!!
Does RoundUp or Killex destroy it? Loved the "racking the 12 ga." sound.
Apparently it is very resistant to herbicide such as RoundUp, with RoundUp only be effective when it is a small seedling.
@@danielskinner1796 Perhaps 2,4-D . It should be eradicated by whatever means. Glad this man is making an effort.
So very beautiful. We love them
We have it at 1300 meters mountain villages close to the Alps north Italy! Napalm is the solution
Apparently even the smoke from burning it is dangerous.
The king has returned
My vote is for the descendants of the chap - from the Victorian era - who first introduced them into the country, to spend some

Ya the grim reaper is back!
whens the next video! Giant hog weed can be VERY nasty
the sound effects were great 😂
Giant Hogweed truly is a beautiful plant in itself.
Yet sadly it is too detrimental for it´s beauty.
4:09 you could say he's going hog wild.
Now we're talking.
Love your content!
