    How to kill weeds safely

    Can you kill weeding with a small flame gun? Is this safe? What safety steps should be taken? How can I ensure that it’ll work right? What other tools or and products/treatments might I need to use? Where could i get these from? Is this one of the better ways of dealing with weeding or am I wrong in assuming that? Any suggestions you have on this would be a lot of help as I’m trying to figure out what the best solution is right now. Thanks.
