Complete and utter rubbish. The trolley is not even suitable for
carrying a canister of gas let alone a bottle because it's just not
made well at all. A sack barrow design would have been better. Very
poor welding ensured it was next to useless.

The flame gun itself seemed OK but the ignition is very suspect
(piezo)

As for burning weeds? Funnily enough some weeds just don't burn and
even more just don't die for long. Not to mention the damage to
insects like ladybirds and the like. All in all don't waste your
money. I was told the cansiter weed wands were useless, but the big
boy is too.

Think I might try spraying petrol/vinegar/diesel on the gravel drive.
I made three test areas and all seem clear a week later.

Any issues with this do you think?


PS: I also tried to burn the stem of a sunflower growing in the crack
between house and path. Burnt it twice and it's still growing strong.
In fact of all the sunflower bird seed I planted..this was a stray
seed that got swept in to a crack and has grown about 30% better than
the next best sunflower. Look like they are all about to flower soon
(around 40 inches high)

Also just picked my first runner beans too..each night just go out and
grab a handful. How cool is this.

Toms are looking good though all still green.

Does this mean im a farmer now? lol
