counturchickens Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 We've quite a bit of patio and a gravel drive so last year bought a weed wand for about £20 I think. It was quite successful, but it's a bit flimsy and the DH has broken it (he actually broke 2 but one was replaced). He's now looking at some beast of a thing on a trolley which is over £100. I think he won't end up using it because it will be too much hassle. Does anyone have any recommendations for a mid price wand style one? Ps. Don't want to use chemical weed killer.

patsylabrador Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 We've just got the smaller version but they're brilliant aren't they. I could spend ages burning stuff like that. I feel sorry for ants that get killed, it must be like a nuclear explosion to them. They simply disappear. I didn't want to use chemicals but doing it manually is a bore. This is ideal.
