Powerwashing the weeds away

I met Cameron Colson Dec of 2008. He is promoting his new business - removal of invasive weeds using an industrial power washer with a special nozzle (he has patented the technology). I have a power washer! So I thought I would try out the technique at home. You need to repeat 3 times, spaced out, to deal with sprouting weed seeds. My results are not like Cameron's - a home power washer uses way more water, and doesn't pulverize the weeds into mulch like his much higher powered truck-mounted unit. But I did churn up the soil to a depth of 3-6 inches depending on softness of the soil, and the weeds sure look gone. I would expect much more regrowth because there are large fragments of weeds left in the soil that could regrow.
