I used to manually dig out weeds on my hands and knees and leave divots and holes all over my garden... but with this thing with it’s 4 pointy claws - well, let’s see how it works...
First, and this is easy, find a weed. Now pop the claws into the centre and apply some pressure with your foot on the protruding part. At tall it’s a decent height, it’s lightweight and sturdy. To use it you don’t have to bend, so anyone with a bad back there should be no worries. Now it’s a simple case of edging the tool towards you, and hey, that weed doesn’t stand a chance. Ejecting the weed with a pump action motion, is, for obvious reasons, quite satisfying.
Now, does it leave a hole? Well, the answer is yes. But it’s not very big... and to be fair, no matter what tool or technique you’d use to remove a weed and it’s root, there is always going to be some kind of hole left. I just use my hands to massage the grass back.
So my back garden is now totally free of weeds... but my front garden, that’s a different story.
You can use this tool on your lawn or flower beds, but not on a patio, gravel or similar hard surfaces. As long as the claws pentetrate something soft you can insert this thing into smallish gaps.
So this tool is pretty handy and does what it’s designed to do. My take-aways are: it’s comfortable, strong, and simple to use. You can easily remove a whole bunch of weeds in no time.
So for a weed free lawn, look no further than this handy Fiskars Xact Weed Puller.
