Killing Weeds Without Chemicals

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - June 30, 2013 - PRLog -- If you are tired of pulling weeds and scared of the possible health hazards of chemical weed killers, a propane weed torch is an effective approach to weed control. A weed torch uses propane to create heat around 2,000 degrees to quickly kill weeds and undesirable grass.

Using a weed torch will kill most weeds in seconds by destroying the cells in the leaves that create food for the plant. The high temperature is enough to kill the weeds or unwanted grass, you don’t have to burn the plants to a charred stump.

When killing weeds, it is most effective with weeds that are 1 to 4 inches tall. When plants are this small, you will get a very effective control with one pass. Most weeds only need to be exposed to the high heat for a second. You can usually work on an area with a slow walking pace to kill unwanted weeds and grass.

Killing weeds in a problem area like a chain link fence is very simple and effective with a weed torch. It is also excellent for brick patios, landscaping stones and sidewalks. For gardens, it is easy to use in the space between plantings.

You can also use a weed torch for melting ice on sidewalks and concrete steps. You can use the torch for paint removal, starting charcoal, burning stumps and other high heat projects.
