This was a pile of gorse that my wife and I had PULLED OUT (that’s a different story). We had had lots of rain so it was soaking wet. I had fanned the little flame with a piece of cardboard but it kept dying back. Then I remembered my battery-powered leaf blower. Hahaha. It worked VERY well. I was almost done burning when I thought I should shoot some video.
Where did the gorse (Ulex europaeus) come from, you ask? The gorse, as well as the name of our town of Bandon, Oregon actually came from Bandon, IRELAND in the 1890’s.
