[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used one for a while, and it was quite the novelty.  Lots of neighbors admired it and borrowed it.  Yet, I went back to long acting herbicide for the sidewalk/driveway because the 'weed dragon' wasn't as effective. It might be better for something like a chain link fence but, as a PP noted, it's not a precision tool and I had to protect plants I didn't want torched.

Now, I use an herbicide and a hori hori knife.

I had a fantasy of how effective it would be. I imagined that the weeds would disintegrate under the intense flame. Rather, it damages the plant, which then dies over the next few days. It can be situationally effective, but it's definitely not the miraculous cure-all I had imagined.[/quote]
