Yon weed puller.

[Melonfish]

Anybody tried that new fiskars weed puller? any good for harvesting dandelion etc?
looks very useful and should save an awful amount of digging!

i'm planning on some dandelion and burdock recipies, not to mention dandelion coffee, and after being rear ended on friday (stopped at a roundabout no less) my back is killing me. doc says its muscular at least.

bit pricey at £30 mind, but if its quick i reckon it may be worth it for harvesting.

Looks like expensive tat to me. Just use a garden fork to loosen the soil around the plant to be extracted and grip with a your MKI finger and thumb and pull your dandelion out. Worked for me as a groundsman. Without loosening the soil around the root system, the roots will simply snap off.

Digging sticks are cheaper!

It looks very handy for anyone with joint or back problems to use. I'd have to try before a buy.
