    It works. I went and dislocated my knee so I wasn't quite up to my normal tasks. My Christine had to sow the carrots. I put a plastic bottle over a section to make them germinate faster, it blew off before the carrots under it germinated. I had limited mobility, but as soon as I was fit enough, one hand crutch, other flame gun I went up and down about half the rows of carrots. The seedlings look the same in the flamed and non-flamed sections, but the weeds are nearly non-existent in the flamed section. I cant find the camera for the proof. It has rained here for the last fortnight, all the other seedlings have weeds all around. Hoping it dries off enough to get out today to clean them.

    You flamed the carrot seedlings and they survived?!
