   My experience with  the flame weeder is in the vegetable garden. It is an
excellent tool for eliminating seedlings. You can run in right down the row
of well established corn and fry the seedlings while keeping the corn or
tomatoes or whatever in tact. Once things are well established it doesnt
seem to be that effective. Seems to waste more energy than it is worth..
