I'm curious if anyone has successfully used a weed torch to eliminate tough plants like poison ivy, kudzu, English ivy, or Virginia creeper. These plants can be quite pesky, and I'm looking for effective methods to deal with them.

Good luck with that! I reached a point where I literally salted the earth in my garden to get rid of everything, and it worked! Just a heads up, nothing will grow there anymore.
I've heard mixed things about using a torch on poison ivy. One of my neighbors tried it, and they ended up in the hospital! It seems like a risky move, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you're really careful.
Honestly, burning it just leads to more problems. I battled kudzu and found that the only way to really get rid of it is to dig up all the roots! If you leave any behind, it just grows back.
I had great success using goats to take care of both kudzu and poison ivy. They eat everything down to the roots, and it's a pretty effective and eco-friendly solution!
