Anyone know where I could buy a dedicated Weed Flamer in this country? I've asked in a couple of hardware shops but they don't stock them. I'd prefer this system, I think, to using Roundup.

I'd like one with a long handle so that I don't make my back sore using it.

I've been told that they have the side effect of eliminating slugs as well. (I like well fried slug. )

hi kindred spirit
i used to have a parafin one and it was okay but a gas one would be much better.aldi or lidl had a blow torch this week and i would say it would do the job. you may be able to attach it to a brush handle

I have dreamed of owning my very own flame thrower for so long... We have one of those brick covered driveways that sprout grass and weeds like some fearfull super-natural invasion creeping up to the house. If you find a place where they can be purchased let us know! Someone told me you can use salt on paths to clear weeds. I imagine it's only good if there's no soil for it to soak and spread into, and it is contained enough not to wash away, but I'm going to try it myself.
