Abstract
A device is provided for removing vegetation from ground surfaces. The device includes a body defining multiple channels, wherein each channel of the multiple channels has an inlet for receiving vegetation into the channel and a pinch point for capturing the vegetation in the channel. In connection therewith, a width dimension of each channel of the multiple channels at the inlet is greater than a width dimension of said channel at the pinch point.

A device for removing vegetation from ground surfaces, the device comprising a body defining multiple channels, wherein each channel of the multiple channels has an inlet for receiving vegetation into the channel and a pinch point for capturing the vegetation in the channel, and wherein a width dimension of each channel of the multiple channels at the inlet is greater than a width dimension of said channel at the pinch point.
A method for removing vegetation from ground surfaces, using a device comprising a body defining multiple channels, wherein each channel of the multiple channels has an inlet for receiving vegetation into the channel and a pinch point for capturing the vegetation in the channel, and wherein a width dimension of each channel of the multiple channels at the inlet is greater than a width dimension of said channel at the pinch point, the method comprising:
- moving the device across the ground surface;
- directing the vegetation into one or more of the multiple channels, via the corresponding inlet(s) of the one or more multiple channels;
- and
- at each of the one or more of the multiple channels, capturing at least some of the vegetation at the corresponding pinch point.
