I also liked the two attachments you get with this weed burner; one for broadleaf weeds and a narrow one for getting into nooks and crannies.

I recommend this product based on my testing in a friend’s garden, the build quality, warranty period and trustworthiness of the brand. The WBK04 uses Shields LONG Flame SHORT Wand technology for ergonomic use, the effective heat range of the Shields weed burner is 60 -100 cm enabling you to cover large areas quickly without back breaking bending and twisting. A shiny silver body with a matt black handle indicates this is a simple but hardworking piece of kit. A further advantage besides the ecological one is the economic one: costs are strictly related to gas consumption, and there are no additional costs for the disposal of toxic residues, as is the case with chemical herbicides.What really appeals to us about this weed burner is that we can use it on sunny days and allow our solar PV system to completely offset its 2kWh electricity usage making it an environmentally-friendly, sustainable solution for us. However, you are tethered to your outdoor power outlet by the power cable, and don’t forget to uncoil it before switching it on.

It was good to use the lower setting first too and then go higher, as it gave the weeds a good shock before really burning them down. The long handle makes it easy to direct the burner precisely where it’s needed, so you can keep your garden healthy and weed-free. Well, I also use it to light my fire pit and even light my stove sometimes and for this, I don’t attach the extension handle. Approximately two days after the treatment, the plant can be easily uprooted, or it can be left in the ground to provide nutrients for the soil below. However, I quickly worked out the ‘knack’, and my tip is to press harder than you think whilst gently twisting at the same time.This electric weed burner has proved to be very effective at removing weeds but it takes a little time and patience, as do all electric models.

This procedure consists of burning the plant in such a way as to permanently damage its cell structure and prevent its regrowth. The issue is I will only use weedkillers in more commercial settings or driveways and patios that are overrun with weeds and not domestic gardens if I can help it. It costs upper end money and whilst it doesn’t have reviews, its specifications meant we had to try it out and see how it performs.This means only really using it in dry weather as electric and the wet don’t mix so just bear that in mind too but with that said, you can only use chemical weed killers in the wet too.

You couldn’t use one instead of a herbicide though, as the energy requirements are huge, but that’s why they’re perfect for removing some weeds or for tidying them up.Most gas weed burners work by causing damage to the internal cells of the plant, and the results normally take a while to show, but this Green Habitats Weedburner crisped the weeds almost instantly. This is a powerful gas weed burner that crisps your weeds and kills them over the course of a few days.
