My husband burns the tops of weeds with a torch. Does this really get rid of them forever?
Question:
Answers:
It does not get rid of the individual plant since the root survives. However, since most plants set their seeds at the top, it does prevent the weed from spreading by killing the seeds.
It might for a few but for most, if the root lives on so does the weed.
i dont think so...why would it?
I'm pretty sure it kills them. My uncle used to burn his front yard every year for weed control.
Nope, it leaves the root. But it is fun.
The best way is a poison that kills the root. A squirt of oil is good to kill them, but environmentally unfriendly.
It may get rid of the seeds when it comes to Dandelions, but as a few of the others have said, the root lives on and it can spread through the roots as well. Better to use a Weedex bar or some such that kills broad leaf weeds.
No but it gives him a big kick so leave him alone.
No just for a little while
