I have a yard full of rocks , 0 vegetation. Wet January so we had the yard sprayed with weed killer in February to head off weeds. Still have random small 1-1-1/2" dead weeds. The rocks snap off my weed eater string before I can even get to the weed and trying a solid weed wheel / blades is asking for trouble.

So I bought a torch from HD, gonna burn them down at the source. easy - peasy. There is nothing around except rocks, and I am intelligent enough NOT to do it on a windy day. Pick up the torch, then I though .. Hmm I better check if I need a burn permit.

Just got back from returning the torch. Apparently the only way I can burn them is to rake it all into one pile, it's a fucking acre and a half of rocks. Fire Department being fun police.

EDIT: BTW if you are thinking shame on me for not asking first, so am I.

i have that torch, first time used it along the fence line everything was going great. there were a couple things growing through some gravel. some weed that more of a woody stem was really slow to burn so put the flame on it for about a min, then the gravel started exploding.

Spread some powder with a fertilizer thrower then light it up.

Have the hose ready and act like you're just fighting a fire.

Boom, no weeds, neighborhood hero.

41% glosphosphate for all your vegetation needs. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...ed-killer-41-glyphosate-concentrate-2-1-2-gal Bought a 2.5 gallon jug like 5 years ago, only need a shot worth in the sprayer. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/groundwork-pump-sprayer-2-gal-capacity-pack-of-2-1093743

Looks like it does nothing then a few days later it is drooping, then yellows, then shrivels to death before becoming dust.
