Hydro-tilling with a pressure washer

Ran across this guys youtube channel using a pressure washer for weed control or clearing an overgrown bed. The oscillating tip kind of makes it more controllable than just scouring with one of the given nozzles and seems to chop up the blades etc.
Tried it out today and it has some potential. Makes a mess of course, but pretty good for edging.
One interesting thing is that it takes a lot longer to cut through st aug stolons.

If you want to go down another rabbit hole for a fun oddball garden tool, look up the tilther.
It's basically a mini tiller powered by a cordless drill.

For $700. Could buy a real tiller with cash to spare.

That sounds like one of the dumbest ideas i've heard in a long time.
Mud would go everywhere.
What's the points of "edging" with a pressure washer? After you're done you would need to pressure wash your driveway to get all the mud off of it, not to mention you'd be covered in mud.

It was actually less mess than i was expecting. You just need to be aware of what direction you are clearing of course, but it wasnt that bad.
The edging was just playing around, but it did a really good job esp if you are trying to get some of the dirt away from the sidewalk to make mechanical edging a little easier.
Yea the Tilther is cool, i want to get the depth controller for the BCS tractor I deal with. The concept of using that is al alternative to turning over super deep and only the top inch or so.
Power harrow does something similar too.
Speaking of drill powered tools that salad greens harvester is pretty cool too.

But then you couldn't virtue signal to your hipster bespoke market gardeners that you're better than them.
I never said I'd buy the silly thing. Just that I found it interesting.

To clarify, the oscillating nozzle doesnt kick up as much debris as you would think and you can move closer or further to control what depth you are scouring.
In my case i used it to create a 2 inch or 3 inches around the garden edging instead and then backed off to blow things or wash as needed. Or just clearing out some weedy areas.

Bring your rig over to my property. I can't dig more than an inch without hitting rock. Big rock, small rock, rock shelf, red rock, black rock, you name a rock, I've got it.

Yo, you got a recipe for that pressure washer smoothie?

What about using water pressure to aerate/plug your lawn?

I see that the spammer got run off, but I do want to try this. Has anyone actually done it? Wondering what tip to use on the wand is it those turbo tips?
