MATT KIRBY TALKS ABOUT FOAMSTREAM
The world’s leading herbicide-free weed control solution.
Foamstream kills unwanted vegetation, including weeds, moss and algae, using the precise application of hot water insulated by a specially formulated biodegradable and organic foam.
How does it work?
Extreme heat is the active killing agent in our process. The nontoxic and biodegradable foam simply insulates the hot water which maintains the high temperature for longer, allowing for a more effective kill. Essentially, it's a super-efficient way to use hot water to kill weeds.
What gets you out of bed in the morning?
Generally our Puppy. She is always up early and eager to go. We love our morning walk routine with her through either Grey Lynn or Western Park, followed by a coffee somewhere local (Orphan’s Kitchen, Ripe, and Open are favorites).
Is the product suitable for home use and big jobs?
Yes, now both! We started this journey focused on councils and the larger commercial market. We now have ongoing work with Auckland, Porirua, Wellington and Christchurch councils. However, I am constantly asked if there is a solution for home use. To satisfy this, we set up Safe Weed Control to offer our herbicide-free solution as a service to residential clients who are looking for organic and non-toxic solutions for their homes.
What changes would you like to see - ban glyphosate?
I think ultimately New Zealand will follow the likes of France, Germany, and Scotland amongst others in banning or restricting glyphosate use; pockets of New Zealand have already begun. To me, places where kids live and play are the first place to look at. Children are uniquely susceptible to ingesting these chemicals. Pragmatically, solutions need to be available to allow for meaningful change and we now have a great solution for sensitive areas like schools, playgrounds, streetscapes and now backyards and driveways, where we can safely maintain these areas while keeping them clean for kids, adults, and animals.
