Grampa's Weeder ®

Comments about Grampa's Weeder:

This weeder will only work on small weeds with tap roots less than 5" deep. This is because the prongs on this clever invention are only 2.5" deep. I constantly either missed the root or broke it. Only 1 in 50 tries resulted in actually getting the entire tap root. The design is good but I believe one or two larger models need to be made to cover the larger weeds. With practice I might get better but my first impression is that this tool does a better job at airation than it does weeding.

Comments about Grampa's Weeder:

We use it to try to get ahead of dandelions. It's fun to use, but you have to remember to turn the weed upside down to prevent the roots from re-rooting themselves. Or you could put weeds in a bag for disposal

Comments about Grampa's Weeder:

Being a professional weed control entity, our staff really put this tool to the test. We found that it works best on early stages of weed growth--mostly rosettes. For those dealing with a lot of weeds, like tansy ragwort, this is perfect and really saves you from a sore back! The handle would be better if the material were different, but it can likely be replaced with another material if you have issues with the wood handle.
