Gardening Tip 15: Scorch Weeds

Some weeds are just about impossible to dislodge especially if they've found their way into small cracks in the pavement.  You can certainly use herbicides like horticultural grade vinegar or small prying tools like a screwdriver, or you can go for a high-propane approach and scorch them to death!  It's immensely gratifying and very, very easy.

1. Attach a propane torch to a tank of propane.
2. Ignite the propane.
3. Adjust flows.
4. Burn weeds until black.

Naturally, you should keep a hose nearby, and you shouldn't do this on windy days where debris can fly and the fire can spread.  I got my propane torch at Harbor Freight for about $25.
