FLAME GUN.. is the most effective form of organic weed control available! This flame gun destroys weeds with a searing 2000 degrees Fahrenheit blast which when directed at the base of weeds stops the plants sap rising. Leaving the weeds to dry for a few days, a second gunning incinerates all top growth and weed seeds, leaving a potash rich residue. The Flame Gun not only destroys weeds but leaves the ground pure, sweet and free from seeds and harmful bacteria - perfect for future planting.Also useful for mealting snow and ice from drives and pathways during Winter months.
