Re: Garden flame weeder

**&* M* P* <m*@dargan.com>**

Peter, I agree with the mowing method and it is bing used. I wondered it
when the new shoots reappear after a mowing, you thought that the backpack
flame thrower would work to hasten its demise? we have waaaay too much here
and it is infesting a community meadow ? Somehow I've become in charge...
