Great idea, thank you! I have also had great success with a dog shedding brush that I got at a thrift shop. The little teeth catch small weeds and pull them out easily.
Awesome ideas but at my age as well as considering the size of my garden there is no way I can get on my knees to work the entire Garden. I'm having a big problem this year with weeds. There's an areas where I mulched heavily as well as put a layer of weed cloth then put the mulch on top and I still have tons of weeds coming through that. I'm going out of my mind this year
Your stirrup-hoe is my favorite tool. I found it in canada labelled as the UNIVERSAL GRUBBER tool years ago at home-hardware. Thank you for the spoon idea tool , i will add that
Thanks for the stirrup hoe demo. That's not how the one that my husband has works, though. When I tried to use it I noticed the head was able to move back and forth, not stay still, so it ended up just sliding over the ground/weeds and didn't pull anything up or cut it. Have any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong?
Those tools are great for weeds but not grass. You have to get all the roots on grass in order to get grass wlth those tools they would have to be very small. Hot days is best when weeding. But mulching is the best way to eliminate weeds you have to do very little weeding this way and they are easy to just pull them when young.
Excellent idea usinh a spoon

I use 2 screw driver (thin one and thick one) depend on the size of the weeds. I also use the longest nail to get deep to the root of the weeds!

Where did you get your garden claw stirrup weeder? It's cool!!
Yes!!! This!! Where did you get your stirrup/claw welder @gardenwelleatwell
I've found these at my local hardware store in their gardening area.
Thanks for the good ideas. How would you use those tools when there's mulch all around?
I see they use plastic sheet to cover their garden in modern farming. How do you think about this? Any harm to the soil you could think of?
You may want to apply mulch in between
I'm a newbie; how do you get rid of the bad seeds/plants that you've just damaged with your tools? Do you leave them on the ground? Thanks
Where to buy?
