chirpy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 H as anyone used gas burners/lances to get rid of weeds on gravel paths/terraces etc. such as the garden torch 907 made by campingaz.?We have used Round-up and sodium chlorate but these chemicals are not good for the environment as well as being expensive.

Grumpy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It takes quite a lot of gas to burn your weeds(depending on size and density) so don't rush in to getting a burner. I have one that I use professionally and prefere to use it on dead weeds that I have killed with Roundup thus tidying up the job. Pathclear is a good product that has a residual element that kills seed as it germinates. Keep an open mind on Roundup. I know a lot of people worry about it but it is still the safest desherbant that we have got.Grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 We got a gas burner some time ago and found that, as Grumpy said, it took along time to kill the weeds and therefore you burn a lot of gas (and your arm gets fed up). Gas bottle refills became too expensive to continue, so I use weedkiller now.Chrissie (81) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I never thought of doing that before. Sounds like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
