The portable flame weeder is perfect for weeding on small areas. For larger surfaces, it is better to choose the five-gun flame weeder cart.
Flame weeding destroys the cellular structure, thus the plant's ability for photosynthesis. This way, it will not have the energy needed to grow.
The flame weeder is more effective when used on weeds at the early stages of growth. With tougher weeds, it is suggested to burn them a second time. However, keep in mind that the treatment will take several days to dry out a plant completely.
The flame weeder unit is equipped with a 6.8 kg (10 lb) propane cylinder and a knapsack to carry it, as well as a needle valve to control the intensity of the flame and thus use less propane. The flame weeder handle is made of rubber for a better grip.
The unit also includes a flint lighter.
The Portable flame weeder with pressure valve has the added features of a squeeze valve with adjustable pilot and rubber grip handle included. Perfect for spot weeding or instances where a full flame is not continuously required. You simply press on the handle to have more power and heat, and release it to reduce the intensity of the flame. A great overall utility torch for years of service.
