Works fine, great for water features |
This thing works great, just as advertised. Our little farm is organic, so I never use chemicals for weed control. I have a couple of gas-powered string trimmers which I still have to use a few places, but since I got the Weed Dragon I now use it almost exclusively.
A couple of reasons I prefer this over the gas-powered string trimmers: 1) No messy mixing of gas and oil 2) It starts every time with just a flick of the flint striker gadget--no choking, priming, pulling, pulling, pulling... 3) Much quieter--I can listen to my iPod while using it.
Best feature of all: I've got several small ponds in the front and back of the house. With a string trimmer, the cut grass goes flying everywhere, mostly into the ponds, making a big mess to clean up. With the Weed Dragon, the weeds just wither in place with no extra cleanup required.
Tip: What I do around the water features is cook the weeds one day and then let them dry out for 2 or 3 days. At that point, they're dry and brown and a little unsightly, so I go back over them with the Weed Dragon and toast them again. Since they're brown and dry, they immediately flare up and turn to ash and disappear. The surrounding grass and weeds never catch fire, since they weren't treated the first time. This double treatment leaves me with a clean, weed-free area and no residue. Note that you should still keep a fire extinguisher and hose nearby to make sure things don't get out of control. |

Pretty cool, does a decent job |
|
I ordered one of these becasue I was tired of pulling weeds from between the cracks on a patio I build that is a slate floor with sand filler surrounded by castle wall bricks with rose bushes behind. We have a lot of weeds that like to pop up and since our dogs play out there and eat grass poison was not an option. I bought this, got it a day later (thanks amazon!) and hooked it up to my grills propane tank. Instantly I lit it (why wait?!?!?) and man was this thing impressive! It's weeding with a flame thrower/torch. You literally only have to pass it over the weeds for a few seconds and they start to wilt. A day or two later they are dead. Now at this point you can pull them eaisly or relight your torch and burn em again! :) It by no means is "magic" but it does do the job as long as you aren't expecting the thing to vaporize weeds. It kills the cells of the plant and basically it starves it to death. I do recommend keeping the garden hose handy just because it's a safety issue. |

Good for dead vegetation |
|
Used this item, as per instructions, on my gravel driveway. Used a lot of propane in the process. It did burn the weed surface but did not kill the weeds themselves. The weeds grew back in about a week. Wound up using herbicide anyway. It did work very well in cleaning up already dead vegetation. I would recommend getting it for that purpose. Just make sure you're standing upwind to avoid breathing in smoke which may contain herbicide. I might be a little charitable giving it 3 stars. |

Better name is 'flame thrower' |
Marketadvisory delivered the weed dragon promptly. The thing does what is supposed to. I would warn people though, that it is something to use very carefully. One could get burned easily. Also, when you edge with it, or try to kill a weed in the middle of grass or near bushes, the heat from the flame will kill more than just the weed. But maybe one should expect that?
I killed weed growth a foot away from a rose bush and some of the rose bush leaves died from the flame's heat. Bush is okay though.
