Emile demonstrates that it is possible to weed without using chemicals, simply by destroying the herb before it rises in seeds, by premature and sensible ploughing, at right time. He will fight his whole life so that his vineyards are clean. They " are crossed in the tweezers " according to the good word of a local journalist. Emile Bories will have many other happy initiatives, among which one can quote: 

Tying up along wires the vine shoots to improve the angle and the period of sunshine,
Pruning old vineyards in short goblet to establish them on wire, 
The frequent use of young trainees.
