fandandy 3,311 Posted July 14, 2020 For burning weeds. No matter how many times I spray Glysophate I always have weeds grow back in the drive. Anyone ever use one of these and if yes, how well did it work? Any tips? https://www.amazon.com/Flame-YSN40HOG-Horizontal-Quemador-hierbas/dp/B07L5GMWGK?pf_rd_r=3HAH01YR2PF9C625ZNPD&pf_rd_p=be25f964-4afb-442f-819e-9e628b270a7c&pd_rd_r=89acd5ed-6de7-44c8-bf4f-d9cb71a4664f&pd_rd_w=rELPi&pd_rd_wg=TM7jG&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shorepatrol 1,737 Posted July 15, 2020 I use the big harbor freight one similar to the one in your link. It sounds like a hot air balloon going off. It's awesomely focking loud and torches the shiot out of anything you let loose on. I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shorepatrol 1,737 Posted July 15, 2020 Throw your 3 or 5 gallon propane tank on a dolly to drag it around. Secure it with a bungy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny, this is the one I am looking at now. https://www.harborfreight.com/propane-torch-with-push-button-igniter-91037.html Is this the one you have? Looking around their site they seem to have some good deals. 1000 lb dolly for $8. I might pick some of those up too. eta: If you shop there often you should addon RetailMeNot for Chrome. It automatically checks for coupons. I'd save $7 if I order that torch which is basically free shipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lickin_starfish 1,483 Posted July 15, 2020 I saw a guy using one around the boat launch recently. It didn't look as fun as you might be imagining it to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hose still looks good but it's 15 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your scared of loud noises and fire, don't buy it. It does both of those real good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BiffTannen 651 Posted July 15, 2020 I don't have a problem with weeds, but that looks like a nice tool to light a grill with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what weeds do. And, its not the "same" weeds growing back...its new ones. If you are just gonna use Roundup....spraying the ENTIRE area (if its gravel) will be much better than spot spraying weeds. There are teeeeeeny tiny ones...all over....that you can't even see..... when you spot spray...you don't get those...and they grow up later....so..there's that. You could try a ground sterilizer...should keep weeds out for the entire spring/summer/fall ...up to 12 month. Try Pramitol. Again, weed torch....temporary.
