<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have used torches, even making up a rig with
a long handle and planned to make up a larger one out of a golf bag
carrier (a useful application), but decided it was too slow, too ineffective,
and too expensive. It also damages emergent seedlings, sporophytes,
gametophytes, and other organisms essential to ecosystem recovery and effective
long-term weed "control." </FONT></DIV>
