Hello,

A quick question really. Has anyone used one of those weed torch gadgets
? - they have a gas can and are like a blow torch on a long handle

I would like to know if they are worth getting , are effective and on
what kind and how big a weed ( or weeds). Are they easy to use?

I have tried countless times to get rid of all sorts of weeds in my
garden
with weed killer but the stuff seems to lack guts these days and was
wondering if fire might be the answer.

Thanks for any advice.


I hope not, I just bought glyphosate !

If anyone wants the super-strength stuff try:

Bigger sizes are available. This eBay shop is "owned" by a company up
north somewhere but I can't remember it's name.


Now you tell us!!!

We had a look in B&Q and bought a 'Value' weedkiller. "8.4g/litre as a
ready to use aqueous solution"

and a concentrate "which contains 151.4 (13.4%w/w glyphosate as a soluble
concentrate"

(whatever that means)

Will they work or do we have to hire the flames from hell????
