Claw weeders and weeding knives are the most effective weeding tools because they can remove the whole weed and its root . Neat and compact, the Gardena Combisystem Patio Weeder is another weed puller that I was eager to put to the test. It has a contemporary design that initially looks a little complicated, but I was surprised at how easy it was to use. Having the right tool for the job can make all the difference. A good weeding tool will make the job of removing weeds much easier. They’re best used on flat patches of lawn, and are useful because you don’t need to bend down to pull out the weeds. Brush Weeding ToolThere are several different types of weeding tool, some of better suited to certain job than others. Therefore, depending on the terrain you have in your garden, you may even find that you want to have more than one weeding tool in the armoury. Hand-Weeding Knives The first thing I noticed was the quality. With a wooden handle and a neat ‘Newman and Cole’ engraving, this weed brush felt thoughtfully designed from the start. The bristles are seriously heavy duty, made from wire. The working length is 120 cm, so it can be used fully from standing. Unlike the Xact weed puller, this weeding tool has been designed for patios. It has a hooked end that allows you to hook onto weeds growing between paving slabs, as well as a blade on the other side for precise removal. Gardena claims that this weeder can be used to remove grass, moss and weeds, leaving behind clean paving joints.

Whilst they won’t get at the roots of larger weeds, they’re good for dislodging smaller plants before they are able to take root. A Weeding Hoe Some of the best weeding tools will let you pull tough weeds out by the root, often working even on well-established, deep-rooted weeds like dandelions. Others will be more effective on smaller weeds. Whilst it’s easy to cover a large area with these weeding tools, and they’re particularly good to use in flowerbeds and vegetable patches, they can’t really be used in hard ground and need to be used in toiled soil. Straight out of the box I was impressed with the quality. It has a good weight to it, with a solid wooden handle. The stainless steel blade is engraved with measurements, which was a really useful touch. The total length is just 33 cm, part of which is taken up by the handle.Of course, this smaller tool does still need to be used close to the ground, requiring a lot of bending or kneeling, so it might not be the best weeding tool for gardeners with more limited mobility. It is, however, an inexpensive item that offers good quality considering how sturdy and effective it is. Using chemicals is an effective approach to weed removal, but even the word ‘chemicals’ starts ringing alarm bells for some people – and perhaps rightly so. These weeding tools are exactly what they sound like. They are long-handled tools with a small, stiff brush on the end. They can be used to get at weeds between paving and in other narrow areas. Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3. Finding the best weeding tool for your garden will depend on the terrain that you have. As mentioned above, if you only want one tool – consider which terrain you have most of in your garden.

Finally, while the design is very similar to the Garden Tools Multifunctional Weed Puller, it doesn’t have the same multifunctionality, yet it’s a little more expensive. For this reason, I’m not going to score it so highly when it comes to value for money.It, too, felt very good quality. The head is epoxy coated which I believe improves resistance to rust, scratches and humidity. While specifically designed for daisies, I used it to remove a range of weeds and it did a very good job. The tool is inserted into the ground beside the weed, and then a levering motion is used to get the weed out of the ground. You can generally get the roots of weeds out using this method. My first impressions of the Fiskars Xact Weed Puller were very good. It’s the most pricey of the tools I tested, yet it still remains very affordable. Due to the diameter of the base, it’s only really suitable for larger weeds, as small weeds won’t get caught easily in the puller’s jaws. You’ll also struggle to use it on ground that’s too hard – but when it rains, or the ground is damp from dew, the blades should be easy to push into the earth. Environmentally friendly; Say goodbye to harmful chemicals, this electric weed sweeper will do an even better job without damaging the environment

Alternatively, smaller weeding tools can be more efficient than using generic gardening tools for the same job. Weeding tools tend to make weeding lighter work because they’re intended for this purpose, as opposed to using a tool which has many different uses (like a trowel). Different Types of Weeding Tool To say I was pleasantly surprised by this weed puller would be an understatement. It worked brilliantly pulling weeds from both the lawn and our raised beds and, as Fiskars claims, there is no bending down required.

This is another weeding tool with an almost unbelievably simple design. You can imagine gardeners using this tool 100 years ago, and I’m sure we will still be using these tools in 100 years’ time! Standard hoes are often used for weeding, but there are also specifically-designed hoes for weeding that follow the same design with a few subtle differences. Straight out of the box, I noticed that it’s surprisingly lightweight. The handle is made from plastic, which keeps the weight down, although Fiskars are keen to emphasise that the handle is glass-fibre reinforced! The downside of a short handle is that you will need to be close to the ground; therefore, these may not be the best weeding tools for people who have difficulty kneeling or bending. It removes weeds from the roots with minimal damage to the lawn. The compact size makes it ideal for flower beds, as you can get in between your plants to remove the growing weeds without doing any damage. I also tested it on my lawn, and it was equally effective.
