Kill Those Pesky Weeds!

My Project

Weeds are the bane of existence for every gardener. Every year we would spend our first few weeks just pulling weeds and getting the raised beds ready to plant. But because the weeds all seeded over the summer, all the raised beds have soil full of weed seeds. We have worked hard this year to have preventative measures in place for weed suppression but we still have weeds to kill.

Having these flame burners and weed tools will come in so handy to just spot check the weeds growing in the walkways and through the gravel.

We need the wagon to carry the propane tank so we don't have to carry it everywhere and the raised bed is going to be where we plant zucchini in the garden. These supplies will help us get a bigger and better garden for next school year so we can eat more yummy things!
