Horticulture/Flame Weeders

A flame weeder is a propane torch used for weed control, primarily in organic gardens and farms. They come in various sizes for different sorts of applications, from hand-held models to backpack versions to tractor-towed agricultural types.

Flame weeding has both advantages and disadvantages over other methods.


 * Pops seeds
 * Safe in lawns: lawn grasses are adapted to fire
 * Collateral damage
 * Expense: Propane costs can be prohibitive
