What about burning a field full of weeds?
Hi Curtis, I didn't know it will not affect perennials that's good to know. Do you water the bed to encourage weeds to grow before flameweeding ?
Hi Curtis,how long you can use one tank? how many beds?
this was very useful. Thank you Curtis
Hi Curtis, just wondering if you have any links or suggestions for improved flame weeder models as you mentioned in the video?
Hi Curtis, Your videos have been great! I’m building a 6 head flame weeder and creating it from scrap materials and some adult training wheels. I’m placing the propane tank directly over the wheel axels and the position of the shroud (wind guard) housing the flame thrower heads is out in front of the wheels and tank. Do you have any suggestions regarding the height off the soil surface the flame weeder heads are positioned? Thank you

Curtis, how do you deal with couch grass on your farm?
Have you ever tried steam weeding? It looks like there is a Canadian company who makes a nice propane powered steam weeder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbRDYv_jSTE
Will this kill weed seed also?
I've seen commercial farms use one of these flame weeders pulled behind a tractor. it goes slow.. though.
Hi Curtis, hooking a propane tank on your back, don't you find it a bit scary?
God, I hate horsetail and couch grass. When I had my garden, I loved to double dig the beds, mainly to get out the long horsetail and couch grass runners. Trying to do that on a commercial small farm scale would be impossible. Anyway, before the season was even finished, those damn horsetail weeds were popping up again in the beds. Is Roundup the only thing that will kill them?
No way. Nope. lol
So that's flame weeding. Interesting and good to know. Cheers
Would a flame weeder weaken deeprooted weeds like dandelions, grasses, and things like Aegopodium podagraria and Heracleum tromsoensis? We started a community garden last year on a plot that has some challenges. In the beds we've used tarps with success, but on the borders there is quite a bit remaining.
Great video.
Grilling veggies in the field.
I think I can make 1 out of a old lawn mower deck, thanks for info
Have you ever eaten quack grass seeds? It's technically a type of wild rye
I brought a flame weeder. Your right, useless on actual weeds or grass. going to sell mine :/ it was fun though!
Should kill weed seeds too because it will denature their enzymes
How long would one of those little camp stove propane bottles run it? You can buy an adapter to refill them from your big tank.
A walking bomb 🙂
so because its flames on a surface, that just means you kill the weeds on top no? or is the % of weeds on the surface so high that when the crops grow you really took care of a huge % of them?
Why do I find this video funny as hell
Also an effective way to suppress insect pressure (aphids) as you charge over beds?
