Can you use a blow torch to clear the garden?

Question

I have a big garden which is badly overgrown. I want to completely clear it and start again. Could I use a blow torch to clear it?

Answer 1

No.This is totally impractical.

Answer 2

i would chop it all back using a scythe then put weed killer on it following instructions carefully.  choose one that you can start planting soon after, this will give you time to dig it over and plan what you want to do with the garden

Answer 3

The fire department prefers a roto tiller, but them you might not get to see a judge!

Answer 4

In the UK you can buy or hire a Flamegun to clear weeds from a driveway without using chemicals - works on a bottle of propane.Quite effective, but have a hosepipe laid out and connected to the watertap just in case it gets away from you - seen it happen ! Mind you, with the weather we've been having these last few days, chance would be a fine thing!

Answer 5

Better with a paveway 2 ,3,or even 4.

Answer 6

no... fire only destroys the green part above ground .... the roots will survive and grow right back.... poison kills the green part, but you still have to dig up the roots.....

do it the old way.... wet the ground and dig or pull up the unwanted plants.....and there ya go.. all done at one time, loosened up the soil, didn't make it poisonous, and the junk won't come back...........

Answer 7

It would take a while.  Napalm is quicker.

Answer 8

Why not but be careful not to let the flames get away from you .Have a bucket of water handy
