I recently got off ebay.uk a weed wand. What a brill thing it is too.
You
go about and singe nasty weeds lol. Great fun on a cold autumn
afternoon.
I
cannot use weedkiller cos of my animals, ad have a big patch of
horseradish,
and loads of stingy nettles to deal with. I looked all over and the one
on
ebay was the cheapest at £15 ish. Must go and get another gas canister
tomorrow so I can play some more. The bloddy nettles have stung me all
summer, now I am getting my own back, hahahaha die you stingers
fizzzzzzzzz

Flame gunning is a sheer waste of time. The roots simply regrow.

Not if you do it properly. The idea is simlpy to singe the top growth , you
have to do it more than once certainly, but eventually just as if you kept
cutting it, the root dies too. It is a recognised organic way to treat weeds
if you don't want to use chemicals.
