It is working! Torched takes a little bit more time to take effect than conventional weed killers. While these products may seem to have instant impacts, they wash away quickly and contain harmful chemicals, making them a short-term solutions that are not completely safe for your family, pets and wildlife. Torched uses surfactants and oils to get into the physical plant and kill it from the inside- providing a long-term, safe solution. Torched gets added benefits from the sun, so if you sprayed Torched on a colder, cloudy day, give it a bit more time to work its magic.

The science is simple really. Weed killers work by dehydrating weeds, plants and unwanted vegetation. They do this by removing the waxy protective coat. This coat is what seals in water in the phyllosphere (the part above ground). Homemade weed killers such as white vinegar, lemon juice based recipes and even boiling water aim to do the same thing. The white vinegar strips the waxy coat and as the sun begins to beat down we see a loss of moisture. Torched was carefully crafted to be safe for the soil bacteria, ground and roots while also being much more effective than homemade remedies for weeds.

You can begin to plant two weeks after your initial application of Torched. If you experience heavy rainfall, you can plant directly after that if Torched has already achieved your desired result. If you experience heavy rainfall before the desired results, you may need to apply Torched again.

Since Torched is an all-natural product we see no reason for it not to be used with other products. Killing weeds is a challenging undertaking.

We all want the perfect lawn! However, Torched is non-selective, meaning that it kills any plant that it touches. We do not advise spraying your lawn or ground covers unless you are trying to use Torched as a burn down. Torched is ideal to use in the garden and around fence lines and flower beds. It is a very effective kill against most all weeds and unwanted vegetation.

Often homeowners and organic professionals seek the use of corn meal and corn gluten as a weed prevention method in lawns. Corn gluten has shown some promising effects on weed seeds. However, using Torched on your lawn and garden for unwanted vegetation prevention is more effective than corn-based corn remedies.

Homemade weed killers have their place, but are often more dangerous and more toxic than people realize. Typical homemade weed killer recipes are based on vinegar solution, boiling water, stronger acetic acid, lemon juice and liquid dish soap.

Vinegar and acetic acid should only be used under safety precautions. Vinegar is a great multipurpose product, but regular white vinegar solution is typically too weak to do much damage to plants. 5% vinegar works, but you need to get 8% vinegar or higher to really make an effective weed killer. High percentage vinegar should be dealt with extreme caution and you should always wear protective gear.

Boiling water is simple, but requires much more time and risk than spraying a concentrate like ours. Why boil water and walk back and forth from your kitchen to your garden when you can just spray one product on your garden or yard's soil?

We truly appreciate homemade weed killers, but in order to be effective and kill weeds the acetic acid concentration has to be really high and at that point the cost might not justify the added risk. We urge you to be careful and use protective gear if you decide to attempt to make your own formula to kill weeds.

For an efficient application, it is better to wait for a day that is bright, warm and clear. On sunny days, Torched weed killer has the best chance of taking effect quickly. Generally, you will find leaves of weed becoming brown within a few days. The leaves should darken and gradually wither. After a week or two, Torched will make anything it is sprayed on look like scorched earth.

For absolutely the best results, apply when weeds are actively growing. Apply during a warm (above 60°F), sunny day. Spray only when the air is calm to prevent drift to desirable weeds. Re-treat if it rains within 24 hours of spraying.
