It gets right down to the roots, however think I would prefer one that didn’t need to have to keep going round and round bigger weeds so itsxgreat for weeds that are medium but harder repetitive work to get bigger ones out, it’s very sturdy though and it doesn’t bend like some cheaper garden tools that snap, it’s made of iron and does it’s job on the grass.So it has good points.
Pulled up a couple of knee-high thistles successfully, root and all, using this tool. I didn’t find it tricky to use, just have to wiggle and prod around a bit. Didn’t leave big holes either.
I have suffered many weeds in my lawn. With this tool, it took me just 2 hours to transform the lawn and prepare it for seeding the patches. My lawn is looking so much better this year. Great product and great service thank you.
This is brilliant for digging up even the biggest dandelions! You can get really deep(like the roots of dandelions) I dig and lift around the bigger dandelions then one last one and they pop out! It’s great for all weeds! I’ve also used it to gently lift a plant I was transplanting to another part of the garden as I didn’t want to risk damaging the roots it worked perfectly and the plant it happy in their new spot! It’s really good quality and is strong I’d definitely recommend.
Brambles, old tree trunk bases, root systems of many invasive.
Sorts them all, dig down and wiggle it about, it’s great for tracking them errant roots.
Earlier today, it helped track down and remove the roots from an Ash tree that would unfortunately have done a lot of harm growing where it was.
Though admittedly it did need a bit of help from a cold steel chisel, decent weight hammer and a fair bit of persuasion.
Probably need to buy a new one soon when money is there.
Worth every penny.
As you may have gathered, it does require practice (I had a lot of practice with hundreds of dandelions) and some work, every evening in the first season. Second season less work and now, just when I see one.
So if you are prepared to do some work, this is a great tool.
Good for the environment too.
I still have no clue what more than half of the things growing in there are, but I’m enjoying watching them grow. And while a good number of the plants are probably weeds, the only one I can actually identify as such is the dandelion. And boy, do we have a lot of those.
I made the mistake of leaving the dandelions to flower for the sake of the bees, who had no other flowers to feed from after we followed freezing winter with a very warm spring. And now, I have dandelions everywhere. And though I’ve been told you can eat them, and I may yet give that a go, in the meantime I need to reduce their numbers. Drastically so.
Enter this tool. This is the most fun I’ve ever had gardening. Insert tool at the base of the dandelion. Push down, wiggle, try to rotate round the tap root, push a bit further, and lift. One uprooted dandelion ready for the bonfire. I’ve used it in the lawn, in vegetable plots, in the rockery, all over my garden. It’s brilliant.
It does occasionally have its limitations, because some of the dandelions here have been here for longer than we’ve lived at this address, and they’re very firmly entrenched with massive roots. But the dandelion weeder has dealt with every last dandelion I’ve attacked with it, and is still as good as ever. For an item that costs so little, this packs a serious punch.
