I've found you only need to hit the leaves until they curl and it's enough to kill the plants !!

30' hose, interesting. I never thought of that cart option.

I start charcoal, our wood fired oven and wood fired cooker with a weed burner. It gets it all going at once and saves a ton of time. Not to mention the cool factor.

It'll be nice for winter brush pile burning.

No doubt weed torches can prove beneficial

Does anyone use weed torches this time of year? I have some annoying weeds around the homestead. 'Am thinking about burning the seed heads yet this winter.

A couple weeks ago I torched a bunch of seed heads. I was surprised to see some seed pods yet that I blasted. I would have thought they'd drop on their own by now.

Tomorrow I'm planning to burn a brush pile & am anxious to use the weed torch to start it.

There are organic farmers who have built tractor mounted or motoroized propane weed burners on row crops and or larger garden areas. I am sure there are other fuels and designs. I know there are some companies that sell larger scale burners instead of the single torch like ones discussed above.
