Green Thumb
Flame weeding is an effective way to control weeds without the use of pesticides or herbicides. The process relies on propane gas burners to produce an intense, directed flame that briefly passes over the weeds. This exposure to heat kills the weeds, and propane is a clean-burning fuel that leaves no residual chemicals in the soil.

So, does it work? In short, yep! When flame weeding, the most effective method is to catch weeds early, from 1-4 inches. At this small stage, flaming is nearly 100% effective at killing weeds, whereas weeds over 4 inches are more difficult to kill without multiple flamings.
