A neighbour has asked me to tidy up her garden, which hasn't been looked
at for about a year.

There are lots of weeds (e.g. couch grass) growing up between the
flagstones in the paved areas.

I was going to use Glyphosate, but when I checked on what tools are
available there, I found a weed blowtorch: how effective are these
things, please?

Cheers

p.s. Yes, it's the wrong time of year to be dealing with weeds, but
needs must!
IME they work very well provided you follow up with a dose of
glyphosphate when no-ones looking.


I'd give it a dose of Glyphosate 2 or 3 days before blasting with the
blowtorch.
