This video is incredibly helpful! The detailed explanation and demonstration on how to kill weeds with just two affordable tools are excellent. Thank you for sharing this valuable information. Highly recommended!
Just got Grandpa's for an early Fathers Day Present. LOVE it!
Thats great to hear, its such an uncomplicated tool that works best every time
I want to get one so I don’t have to get down and dirty laying on my pool concrete areas.
Just a great educational video. His speech, delivery and editing, are excellent. No extended prologue forcing me to scan half way through to find the actual information. This guy knows how to garden and create video content. Bravo
Hey Silver Cymbal...I bought the Grandpas Weeder based on your original video and have been so pleased with it. In fact I was so impressed that I went on to Amazon and did a very thorough and glowing review of it. I very rarely do reviews, so a product REALLY needs to impress for me to be compelled to write one. Truth is...there is something INCREDIBLY SATISFYING when you are using it and nearly 90% of the time it grabs the entire root in one shot. AMAZING! Just now clicked on your affiliate link to order the Corona....looks like another solid product.
Thank you for making such great content...I look forward to each video and always learn something new! Keep it up!
that corona tool will come in real handy for all the clumping fescue we have here in chicago
thanks for the tip dude!
no it wont unless the lawn is clean of weeds to start. im in chicago and have leftover fescue control- want it?
Coming up on a million subscribers!
You always have great information in your videos. Those tools are top-notch.
Thanks for sharing. Just ordered both.
Thanks again Chris. Based on your review a few years ago of Grandpa’s weeder, I couldn’t be happier. I tried hundreds of dollars in yard tools, this truly works. I also bought the Groundskeeper rake thanks to you.
You’re videos never disappoint. Quality information without the fluff. Just purchased on Amazon.
You’ve been putting out quality videos for years. Really appreciate it.
Please make a video or short on how to clean solar panels. Everything I find seems like it’s focusing way too hard on selling a product or conflicts between what tools to use and what process to avoid damage to the panels. We need your straightforward and unbiased approach!!
You have the best and most informative videos ever! So happy to see a new upload! 😊
I found this video incredibly informative and practical. The explanation of why two different tools are needed for different types of weeds was enlightening. The detailed demonstration and real-life examples make it easy to understand how to effectively use these tools. Thank you for sharing these tips and tools; they will surely make gardening much more manageable!
That and he gets straight to the point and doesn't waste time getting to the meat of the video. Love this channel.
Really cool, love the channel! You really do your research. 👍
We got grandpa’s / -ma’s weed puller last year- works great on tap root weeds as you said. I’ve been using a spading fork(? Has 4 heavy tines & a fairly short handle) but it looks like this second weeding rake will be a great addition! Ordered it today- we have clay soil & zoysia grass, N Al.
I can't thank you enough on how much your videos have educated me i love all of your videos they are very helpful!!
I really appreciate that. So glad they have been helpful
Thanks for this. I always avoid using chemicals in our yard. I'll take some extra work over spraying where the kids play
On your recommendation I picked up the grandpas weeded and it has been a godsend.
Extremely useful information. Enlightening😊
I have the Grandpa weeder and it does a great job pulling those pesky dandelions. Thanks for the new tool suggestion.
Always solid advice on this channel.
I appreciate that!
Good recommendations. I also like the weed torches of various sizes. I call them my weed heaters. And I use a tool called the Extractigator to pull up small trees.
Definitely 2 Tools I need to add to my outside arsenal.
Been using the Grampas Weeder for years and it's awesome. They also have a smaller one handed version that we have that is great also
Excellent! Another helpful video!
I purchased Grampa's Weeder per your recommendation 3 or 4 years ago. I love it! It is awesome and gets the entire root. Thanks Chris! 👍
So glad to hear that, I have tried at least 12 other more "advanced" tools, over complicated, none are as good
I have something similar to the grandpa's weeder you have, but it has sort of an "ejection" handle. I love it. Thanks for doing these vids, as always.
What you describe sounds like the one made by Fiskars. I have that one as well.
@@jasperstarr6804 Exactly right! I just couldn't think of the name.
Thanks. These look great. Definitely will have to check out the corona tool. I like the scuffle hoe also. Rogue makes a really good one. There are cheaper ones, but I really like mine from Rogue.
I bought and used Grampas Weeder and it truly is phenominal.
I use the Fiskars 4-Claw Stand Up Weeder - Gardening Hand Weeding Tool with 39" Long Ergonomic Handle - Easy-Eject Mechanism same concept as the grandpa tool except you just pull back on the handle and it drops the weed into a bucket or whatever. I’ve had it for 5 years now and still going strong and I use it weekly as I’m cutting my grass.
This!!
Another vote for the Fiskars tool. Plus the act of ejecting the weed is so satisfying!
Right
I keep a trash can nearby and get them in from over 6' away.
I got the Grampa's weeder a few years ago after watching your video on it - it has bee a game changer! The Corona hoe looks a lot like the sftermarket tooth bar on my Kubota loader
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and channel❤❤❤
The grandpa is great. I had it for 3 years now. Gonnna try the Corona.
I guess these are good if your back is gone. But there's one tool that will do all of this. Wolf-Garten KS2K Weeding/Planting Knife.
With this tool you have full control of how much soil you'll be removing because it's not a good idea to shake the weeds to shake off the soil because often there are seeds and you are just planting more
Those look interesting and I may pick one up but right now I am using a stirrup hoe and I have to say, it works great. It's easy and cuts the roots below the surface. And it does it all with little resistance. Probably got that recommendation from you too.
2:15 broadleaf plantain is what that's called friend. One more tool I use for pulling weeds is a flathead screwdriver. Works well on foxtail barley.
I just figured it out his voice reminds me of the guy from this old house when I was growing up that’s what makes it cozy carry-on
Im a landscaper. I use mattocks of differemt sizes up to a 5lb head.. no larger. I pull most things out including small trees on rainy days. On sunny days i do mowing. This of course is not an older persons tool. Im oftem down on knees etc working.
Great recommendations Chris! One thing to note is that after a weed had been pulled, the disturbed soil can expose new weed seeds, and attract airborne ones. So a pre-emergent weed preventer like Espoma Organic Weed Preventer is worth applying, even if you mulch the area afterwards.
Another good tip is getting to weeds before they flower and go to seed.
Pulling the parent plant after it's produced seeds will just spread them over a larger area.
Interesting. I may get one of these eventually. For now I have to go scorched earth, literally. My weeds are such that I have to take a torch to them. My situation is dealing with grass and weeds where I don't want them like gravel areas. That and a tiller because some areas are too far gone. Eventually I hoep to have things like you do where the grandpas weeder makes sense.
I can see using Grandpa's tool for harvesting edible plants, that a lot of folks call weeds
I now have one, and have started using it to harvest my weedie medical plants
Love using the Grampas Weeder on the broadleaf weeds I get. I bet I can guess two weeds that going into that 5%. Johnson grass and nutsedge. lol I am dealing with both at the moment
I've always used one of those small root cutters and drive it into the base of the dandelion/weeds and then lift it out. But that requires a lot of bending over. I think I may just give that tool a try.
wow....thx for this video!
Personally I have found that Fiskars 4-Claw Stand Up Weeder is superior at weed pulling and has a lifetime guarantee. My neighbors kept borrowing mine until they decided to just get their own they liked how well it worked.
"Not good." That is a cool phrase. The video is good.
If you say it’s good, i’m buying…. I lost track of how many things i bought that you recommended. Dethatcher, tenacity, something electrical, etc… never disappointed!
I appreciate your trust. If you were in my garage you would see the same tools from the video. Only exception was the groundkeeper was broken in two when I moved, so its the same rake, just a replacement.
the rakey one reminds me of a roof ripper and im sure you may be able to get one used easily if you cant find the official one . just a thought
What do you use to take out grass like weeds?
Love my Grandpa tool! That Corona hoe/rake looks interesting!
Good day, would you have any weeding tool especially to remove clover ☘️?
Any advice or tools that you know of that can remove japanese stiltgrass? I've got a ton of it in my backyard and I'd like to remove as much of the roots out as I can when I pull it.
Grandpa's Weeder is a life-changer! Love mine. I have had good success on clumping weeds using a stirrup hoe, sometimes called a wiggle hoe. I do like the way that Corona tool works, though. May have to pick one up and give it a shot.
Stirrup hoes are great on gravel because they can sever and push/pull out weeds and not disturb the gravel layer too much since the stirrup glides beneath the surface. LOVE my stirrup hoe.
Problem with dandelions is if you don’t get the whole tap root it will come back. I’ve found a lot of roots break at the bottom.
Love how the price just went from sub $20 to $45 on Amazon in April. I will wait for the price to drop back down
I don't ever remember it being that low, there are some cheaper copycat products. I like the original myself, it just works well.
Any ideas for tuber type weeds. We have real problems with Japanese knot weed here.
Silver Cymbal, what weeder can I use for poison ivy (vine)?
The Fiskar's "Granpa" weeder has a doohickie that allows you to release the clump of weeds without having to make too much effort. Roughly the same cost as yours.
I broke a Grandpa's Weeder twice when pulling Mallow. First time the cast iron jaws broke and they sent a replacement. I'm willing to believe this was a casting defect as it broke without signficant pressure applied. The second time the wooden handle cracked on a tough root. I haven't bothered returning it after that. It was a great tool for minor tap roots but its just not as heavy duty as it looks. All the tap roots pulled in this video are very small.
Will these help me get rid of dallis grass?
On your hoe type weeder, I noticed the serration on the top of it. I have problems with knotweed and mouse ear. I usually have good luck getting the root out but as I get older the ground seems to get further away from me. Might the serrations be intended for such weeds? I'd spray the stuff but I have a dog.
Our ground here in Colorado is like pulling weeds out of your sidewalk. Ground is so hard neither of these tools work
Both of these might have trouble with wild garlic/onion, for that try the ProPlugger 5 in 1
Dandelion is a food plant, but I approve your harvesting method.
Thanks!
I have a similar weeder but when I pull at the center I frequently cut the stem. 2 weeks later everything has grown back. Do I need to pull the weed's roots fully? Im new to gardening
These two plus roundup are a great combo.
4 jaw Fiskars weed puller. I've never used the Grandpa's one, but it's a similar concept, except you can "eject" weeds from it too. I can pull poa clumps with it too. In the spring I carry it around with me while I'm mowing, pull weeds as I go and toss them in front of the mower. Done.
It definitely works, but it pulls out a lot of dirt with it. It can create big craters, which can be annoying if you are trying to keep a level lawn. I'd rather just spray for weeds, personally.
@@buster7618 Unfortunately some weeds are more illusive than others, especially the grassy ones! But yeah you can get craters.
I think action hoes work pretty well, if you keep it sharp and know how to use it, you can clear a lot of weeds real fast or dig to loosen soil up.
I was thinking of getting the fiskars weeder. After using the grandpas weeder I like the idea of the Fiskars added feature of punching the weed out so I dont have to do it with my hands
I love Fiskars stuff, and LOVE their spade for all my edging. But their weeder is medicore at best and lots of plastic and things that move and jam. I wouldn't buy it, the eject function is good, it fails and the grab is not nearly as good as this opne. One trick I do is I step on the weed edge and pull up and that usually releases it.
My fiskars tool ended up braking. Too much money for plastic!
Thanks for the video, Ive been looking for a hoe type weeder. I might add, the Japanese sickle weeder is also a very good weeder.
use spray if you have weeds. Tools can maintain a weedfree lawn once you kill the weeds with chemicals.
WEEDWACKING DOWN AND INTO THE ROOT WORKS BEST...
NO ONE DOES THAT BUT I DO. IT TAKES EXTRA TIME BUT IT'S WORTH IT
-"You'd never get that out without a tool like this"
Me: "grenade out!"
how to get rid of bermuda grass?
What about poison ivy? Will one of these tools get the root network out? Any other tools work better? I’ve been using my hands in shoulder length gloves. It works, but it’s tedious….
Lovely tools. Unfortunately, I got enough practice pulling them out by hand that I don't need them.
What about Tenacity from your other videos? What's your approach to using Tenacity and these tools?
Tenacity should bea staged approaching meaning, at the beginning you will use it, maybe 2-3 times the first year, 2 times the second and often by year 3 once or not at all. Weeds will be crosded out mainly by grass. But for those that get through or in beds, its not worth spraying for a small handful or really large weeds. These tools are perfect for that, for touchups or if you don't want to use chemicals at all. Hope this is helpful.
What about clover in the yard? I don’t see either of these working.
👍
Q Does super hoe work on zoysia?? Thanks great channel
I have a knockoff of the grandpa weeder and it works just as well
Will the corona rake work on clumping fescue in a lawn
Yes, heres a trick when using superhoe in the lawn. First, do it when the ground is wet, after rain or sprinkler. It just helps the roots all come out. I angle the corona so you are using one or two tines, give it a whack in the ground and then pull. It works very well most of the time. The bonus is no digging, no hands and knees and the divot can be filled in. The speed of this is why I keep using both of these tools.
@@SilverCymbal great to know thank you very much
Which one is appropriate for crabgrass?
You can use Grampas weeder when crabgrass is smaller. But if it reaches the crabzilla size you will need the Corona tool to get it out.
Good luck with Nutsedge
Do you recommend the corona for crabgrass?
In beds, or other ares 100%. In the lawn you can use probably use either tool as crab grass does spread on the surface but the weeder may pull it out as it has one main sub-surface room. But if you use the Corona, angle the tool so the corner goes into crabgrass if its in the lawn for best results
Instantly after hours of work
Anybody tried it with bindweed?
Interesting
When should you use these tools to weed vs using tenacity?
Tenacity is ideal when you have a lot to deal with in the lawn. But its almost impossible to use it in a bed, and its not worth breaking it out for just say 20 dandelions or some big weeds. These tools are instantly ready, I leave them by my garage door so I can grab them fast and get anything I might see, especially in beds but for the lawn too. So its not an exact answer but Tenacity is used the most in years 1 and 2, but by year 3 the need for control should be 80% reduced as grass keeps filling in
@@SilverCymbal Thank you very much for the explanation. Love your channel and will be referring to it a lot when I get my next house soon!
Ideally when you have a well functioning lawn/garden you should only need to spot treat weeds, whereas Tenacity seems to be more of a heavy broadcast spray thing. I have a tank of glyphosate (Roundup) and a tank of selective lawn herbicide (Ortho Killex) both with AA battery powered hand sprayers. They are easy to grab at any time, they are already mixed, and there is no pumping required: just aim and squeeze the trigger. You can set the roundup sprayer to deliver a precise stream and easily hit a weed inside of a dense garden bed. No need for muscles and no need to bend over. Look them up, they are called Comfort Wands.
There is one exception though: quackgrass, which has rhizomes, and likes to grow up tall right in the middle of a shrub. For quackgrass I have had to get in and paint a roundup concentrate by hand. Mechanical weed pullers would not work at all due to the rhizomes being so difficult to fully extract.
Does it work on dallisgrass
Definitelty, it may be a tossup as to which tool is better as dallisgrass can get VERY big, and then you definitely need the corona.
It’s called a McLeod
I like to use grandpa’s cough syrup
Man, this channel has the best tutorials for lawn care. Time to whip out the super hoe 😂
I really appreciate that, I am so happy to have the summer finally here and be back outdoors!
1:01 😂😂😂
If you have thicker deeper rooted weeds, and want to pull the root every time, get you a Pullerbear…You’re welcome.
The rake handle is too short, and after using it for an extended period your back will feel like grandpa’s back.
Remember you need it shorter to drive it in the ground hard, like a hatche for weed/grass removalt, if it was longer you wouldn't get the force. But I would not use it as a rake long term for exact;y what you said.
If you haven't sprayed these weeds, your chickens will love them
You forgot rhizome weeds
