| Anyone ever use radiant heat for weed control? I have a massive infestation of lesser celandine that I am not sure how to kill. I thought maybe heat would do it.
I think it will take a life time to kill it.. Anyone? cherry |

| What you may be thinking of a "flame weeder", usually a torch of some kind conected to a propane cylinder. Heat can help control many "weeds", if done correctly. |

| Although I have thought about using flame for weed control I have not tried yet. I think it would not get to the bulb and bulblets of the buttercup. Would you consider Round Up? That will kill down to the bulbs. |

| This is something that I would never use on a plant that could release oils when heated, like poison ivy. Lesser Celandine it might work but although I do not like RU it or another broad leaf herbicide may be your only choice. |

| That radiant heat thingy still uses flame. The only way you will get heat from it is with a flame although not one you usually think of. |
