For folks who spend their weekends tending to gardens and keeping other areas of their property in tip-top shape, the management of weeds is a seemingly never-ending task. And if you count yourself among the weeding warriors of the world, you've likely already got a preferred method for dispatching the invasive plant life.
Those methods tend to vary, with some taking down weeds with a small shovel or trowel. Others might prefer to use plant-killing chemicals or more eco-friendly organic compounds
to keep their space weed-free. If you can afford it, there may even be a robot that'll do the job for you. For some, ridding their space of weeds can become a more vindictive affair, which means finding ways to go medieval on the property-invading plants. While you can do so without using a pair of pliers, a blowtorch may still come in handy in that endeavor.
More specifically, a propane torch is ideal for gardeners who don't flinch at literally going scorched earth on weeds invading their space. It may also be the most efficient way to kill weeds on your property, as it requires little more effort than to step up, squeeze a trigger and watch the fire do its thing. Assuming, of course, that you have a fuel source on hand, using a weed-burning torch may considerably cut the time you spend killing weeds every week.
