I love hand weeding! It is very therapeutic, feeling and smelling the soil and plants, listening to the birds....then to look back and see a job well done! I enjoyed your video and would have offered to help but I live in the UK, but you seem to have it covered!

Me too,.. only thing i dont bother with is the gloves.. sweat will get them soggy... theres nothing wrong with a little dirt under your fingernails and some calluses..

[@tonycritcher3419]

@@Spartacus4000 Exactly, and it can be fun picking out thorns at the end of the day!

Great technique I am using your video to demonstrate hand weeding to our Bushcare volunteers here in North Sydney.

Informative and super relaxing to watch. I didn't know about the weeding tool. Thank you

[@Iscaper]

Thanks Dave for watching.

Thanks for the great advice. I too will pick hand weeding over chemicals or mulch that may invite pests to my soil. We are offering another alternative, Tertill, a solar-powered weeding robot. This solution is great for those who don't have the time or the physical health to weed as much as their gardens require. The Cornell School of Agriculture found this to be as effective as hand weeding.

Does it work in lawn areas?

Thanks for this wonderful tips. Can you please tell me what the name of that tool is? So i can look it up in store/amazon. Thanks in advance

[@Iscaper]

I think it's a hand weed tool. Here's a link: www.amazon.com/AMES-Companies-Inc-2445300-Weeder/dp/B073KZHMK7/ref=zg_bs_553934_39?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D6Z0P6Y5RTS2B2553A11

Are you using anything for your knees?

[@Iscaper]

I sometimes throw down an old towel. Knee pads are a good option too.

[@worthlessmutts9598]

What if it's a lot, what is your advice?

[@Iscaper]

Soak the soil first.

[@nancywells5626]

Try using a shovel on the root centers to loosen in the soil.

[@mommyhelen2017]

How often do you do this?

[@Iscaper]

I try to do some weeding monthly, especially after a rain storm.

[@damiensutherland7104]

Weeding is the only part i dont like about gardening. But i suppose they wont do themselves.

[@Iscaper]

I agree.

[@moggtheboss3087]

I would have thought that twisting before pulling would make sure that no roots are left in the soil

[@droffilcnosredneh525]

Bruh i just wanna get my 20 bycks

[@sukeshk2847]

I love your idea. But in this video, your audio is too low. Full volume hard to hear it. Please try it yourself.

[@lukeanthony6038]

Thanks but can you speak up it's hard to hear ya bud

[@NytronX]

Trivit30 They make gardening chairs with large tires if you have to pull a ton of smaller weeds.

[@Trivit30]

Nytron They also make protective gear and masks for spraying

[@NytronX]

Trivit30 That won't do any good if it leeches into your produce. I'm not trying to be this guy: goo.gl/Y74N4a You could also use a vinegar based mixture instead of harsh chemicals.
