Juswundrin Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Does anyone know whether weed (flame) guns are available in France? I've looked in a couple of brico's & supermarkets with no luck.(Or if anyone wants to tell me they're no good anyway, that'd be almost as useful )Thanks for any help.

Liz Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 They do exist and work from gas canisters I think. The only place I have seen them is in a shop called Espace Emeraude. There are few of these shops about in this region but I don't know how extensive they are elsewhere in France. I doubt you would find one in an ordinary garden centre or DIY but look for the farm supplies shops. They are mostly used by those that go in for Bio agriculture.My husband has one that is powered by parafin (came from a UK car boot sale). He loves it and goes round our weedy gravel drive from time to time. It is quite a time comsuming occupation and the effects are not long lasting so I sometimes sneak out with a Pathclear equivalent when he's not looking!Liz (29) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndeb Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I bought one with me (minus the gas cannister) on my last visit to the UK as I had never seen them in France, only to find in Castorama in Beziers, a whole basket of them for sale. Very useful but time consuming so I tend to keep it for the weeds that are extremely difficult to remove with weedkillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jo buckler Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 We have one but found it to be ineffective - weeds grow back quickly as roots are not killed only the top foilage - seemed to use alot of gas in a short space of time!!!
