Hi Songbird,

That you for the stirup hoe recommendation. I got
me a Jonhnny Appleseed five incher.

Before I water and the ground is still dry, I give
my weeds a hair cut. And the purslane, which been a
weed and requiring disturbed soil, loves the results.

And the Dandelions keep coming back, but smaller
and smaller each hair cut.

I had about given up.

Oh and the strirup hoe is a perfect upper body
exercise and lowers my blood glucose by
about 15 points.

Plus IT IS FUN TO KILL WEEDS with the thing.
The garden weeds have been paying a heavy
price. maniacal laughter
