ches – Fiery Weed Control
too far so that you can direct them pretty accurately to where you want them. Definitely good for the stubborn individual dandelions growing on the grass. I was able to use these garden torches
over a period of several weeks and I found them easy to use. Getting them out of the shed and attaching the gas cartridge (stored separately for safety) takes only a matter of minutes. Covering areas and individual weeds is effortless and can be done without bending down. Accuracy is good too – it is fairly easy to avoid burning plants that you don’t want to target. In my experience of using these garden torches, they are a very useful way of

controlling weeds since they provide one more weapon in the armoury. There are still certain places (like near the oil line leading from my oil tank to the boiler) where clearly it would not be advised to use the torches. Also, chemical weed killers may be needed for some other situations where the flames may not be the right solution. I found that I had to “reburn” every couple of weeks or so to keep the weeds permanently down, simply because some weeds are very tough and need repeat treatment. Also, new weeds germinate and grow in between treatments and can get quite big surprisingly quickly. I don’t think that the CAMPINGAZ torches

turned me into a better gardener, but they certainly made weed control a quicker and more efficient process and one that can be used when the weather is dry. Chemical weed killers have a lot more stipulations as to how and when they can be used as well as being less environmentally friendly.
could spread to plants and other things nearby. Care is definitely needed to target the unwanted plants and avoid peripheral damage. I mostly used the GT 2000 PZ gas burner because I was tackling the weeds
growing up between the joints in my patio and on my front path. This burner is about 100mm long and 15mm wide and hidden underneath is a series of small holes that cause the flames to jet out of the burner quite intensely. This helps the flames to wilt bigger leaves quickly and also enables you to get close to edges and borders. Don’t try using these garden torches in wet weather because the wet leaves wont wilt away as easily. The GT3000 PZ with its 50mm diameter burner claims that it is up to four
times faster at killing weeds than the standard 22mm diameter burner nozzle. I used it on some stubborn grass growing on my path and patio. The flames are fierce, as evidenced by the pressurised gas “bubbling” noise that you get from the burner. And they are also efficient. The burner also contains the flames from going
