About a year ago there was a link to a video (British TV?) showing
using a shot gun as a quick and efficient weeding tool. Does anyone
remember what it was called or have a link to it?
Thanks

Clearly, you don't know the answer to the question. Also, I didn't
ask for a critique of the technique. I'll give you the benefit of the
doubt and assume this is a troll rather than an example of your
gullibility -- in any event, get a life.

Your query sounded like the troll and a test of our gullibility. Given
that, it's fair game for any kind of response --Using a shotgun would be
an ineffective method of weeding, wasteful, and there is as Billy
mentioned, the shot to consider.
"Shotgun weeding" is a mettyfor(sic) for indiscriminate weeding using a
hoe or some other garden implement of destruction and a term we've used
around here for ages.
If you put "shotgun weeding" (use the quotes) into google you get 569
hits. Maybe one of them is what you want.
You could try the same with google groups.
