Anyone here use a weed puller or a hemostat for pulling out weeds?
If you use either of these, do you find it useful or just a gimmick?
I think if someone made a four feet long hemostat it would be brill. It'd save all that back bending.  _________________ .

The forceps are a brilliant idea ... will have to put those on my Santa list !
For the tougher weeds -- ash seedlings, wild hypericums, dandelions, etc -- my husband is a dab hand with a pair of pliers. They work a treat. Still lots of bending though ... ...
In fact, things like the ash and hypericum are so tough that even after such harsh treatment they can still be potted up and Freecycled. Not so with the dandelions and docks, however ... their ultimate destiny is to be crushed and REcycled via the compost heap ! |
