Hi Ryan, I’ve heard of using flame weeding on
potatoes post-emergent, too, but both corn and potatoes (and especially corn)
are large-stemmed crops with lots of foliage well off the ground. My concern is
that the carrot stems and leaves would be too delicate to withstand the heat
required to kill the weeds (i.e. not enough of a size/strength differential
between the crop and the weed). But maybe someone else here can prove us both
wrong! Rob Wallbridge Songberry Organic Farm 24 Sixth Line, email: rob AT songberry.ca web: www.songberry.ca facebook: become a fan of "Songberry

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Platte Hi all, Someone I know is very enthusiastic about the idea of using flame
weeding beyond just carrots pre-emergence. This person points to articles on
flame-weeding corn, but neither of us have found material mentioning whether
there's a workable way to use flame weeding on other crops other than
pre-emergence. Can anybody confirm either 1) his notion that this might be a helpful
technique or 2) my reservations?
