Every gardener struggles with encroaching weeds. They’re hard to keep up on and make yard tasks much less enjoyable. My husband and I bought a rural property 10 years ago, and we’re just now getting to the lawn. It’s been daunting clearing ground (we don’t want to use chemicals), but I started seeing tools similar to this on social media, and at this point I figure anything is worth trying to make the task easier. It’s a smaller tool, it’s no more expensive than buying a new trowel, and it’s really sturdy. This tool is strong enough to hold up against our soil, and our home sits in an ancient river bed. The handle is super comfortable to hold, and man does it get the job done. We’re getting back into garden work and updates for the year, and that includes recreating the path we’ve cut for cobbling. It is over grown with clover, stray grass seed that escaped the lawn, and dandelions. The prongs on this scrape through the packed earth easily and bring a majority of the roots out with the plant. I’d say that with this tool I was able to clear out a 2’x2’ section of path in less than 10 minutes. I’m sold. I will always have one of these tools around now.
