Think weed season is over when the leaves start falling? Hardly. Autumn can be a difficult time of year for your lawn. It’s the best time to re-seed, so you’ll want to hold off on using any herbicides, but cool-weather weeds are already plotting their takeover next spring.

Don't wait until Spring - this guy needs to go NOW.

Some of the most persistent cool-weather weeds are broadleaf perennial weeds like clover, ground ivy, plantain and the evil dandelion. They thrive in lawns of all kinds, and have a lifespan that can last years. These cold-loving nuisances grow slowly throughout the fall and winter, then as soon as it gets warm…watch out. They pop up, mature and ready to spread seeds all over your precious lawn. Don’t wait until spring to tackle these monsters! It’s important to kill off perennial broadleaf weeds now, while they’re still young and unsuspecting.

A weed burner is the perfect weapon against these sneaky lawn invaders. You can direct the heat only on the nasty plants, and leave your beloved turf unharmed. Also, using a weed burner causes minumum disturbance to the soil, which is a good thing. The more the soil is churned up, the more weed seeds you’re exposing to sunlight, and the more weeds you’ll be fighting off later.

Remember – the goal is not to set the weeds on FIRE (as much fun as that may be). Just pass the heat over the weed until it’s completely wilted, and it won’t be rearing its creepy green head again when the weather gets warm.

So, the bad news is; it’s not time to rest and relax yet, even after a long summer of yard work. The GOOD new is, with a weed burner in hand, you can fry future pests today and have more time to enjoy the warm weather when Spring rolls around again.

The Enemy.

How a Weed Burner Works

Many people misuse their weed burners like a flamethrower to torch nasty weeds. While it may give you some short-lived satisfaction to watch the scourge of your yard go up in flames, all this does is kill the weed’s leaves, leaving the roots unharmed. Oh, and that weed will be back with a vengeance in about a week.

The proper way to use a weed burner may not be as much fun, but it’s far more effective. Use the weed burner to apply heat to the weed (exercise restraint, and don’t set it on fire), until the leaves wilt and get a little crispy. What happens here is that the heat evaporates ALL the water in the weed (even drawing the moisture out of its roots), so it’s completely and totally dead. Dead, dead, dead, and not coming back.

The Weed Burner: Your weapon against the green menace

TIP: DO NOT burn Poison Ivy, Oak or Sumac. The fumes can cause serious irritation to your eyes, nose, throat and lungs.

So, while it may not be the flamethrower of your dreams, a weed burner is an environmentally-friendly and fun way to keep unwelcome leafy greens from invading your pristine lawnscape. 

Are you tired of getting down on your hands and knees to pull weeds or chemically spraying them. Pulling weeds by hand is labor intensive, time-consuming and dirty! Weed killing chemicals contaminate the environment and pose health risks to you, your family, pets and livetock.

Using a weed burner torch is an environmentally-friendly, organic way to practice organic weed control. Powered by clean burning propane, a Weed Dragon Weed Burners provide an intense flame that quickly causes weeds to wilt from the heat. Once the weed wilts, photosynthesis is prevented and the weeds die soon thereafter.

Weed burners are available in backpack versions or you can get a weed burner kit with a handy pull cart.

Organic farmers, conscientious home owners and property managers all looking for a better way to manage weeds now have an organic choice with weed burners.
