Roofing torch connection

I got a roofing torch which I plan connecting to a small propane tank for use in the garden to burn weeds.

Does it need a regulator the same way the 11kg bottles use to connect to the gas oven?

Yes, always. In fact the gas connection to the cylinder is always now a regulator anyway.

Thanks. That was what I meant as opposed to connecting the pipe straight to the tank.

It would be sputtering and gasping if you didn't have a reg on it and would work about as well as napalm.

For what I'm trying to do in the garden with eradicating new Zealand flat worms and weeds, napalm might be what's needed but I'll err on the side of caution 😜

Oh no! I had heard that they were starting to take over in parts alright! Do you mind me asking what the effect is of having them over the native worms?

They eat the native worms. I'm not seeing many worms but lots of flat worms.

Plan is to torch the garden after lifting the plastic sheet. It should kill the worms, eggs and weeds all in one go.
