i'm glad it is working out. the best tool is
one that you will use.

i keep up a lot of gardens by using one and
for a bare dirt garden or even for stirring
some of the mulches it works as it should. we
have two of them now because i bought one for
Mom when it was on sale for $8.

i do still have to remove some weeds here or
there, but for the most part i leave them to
dry out on the surface and to become worm food.

we're now getting into crab grass season to
where if i've missed any it will have seeds on
it so if i'm trying to reduce the population i
have to remove the chopped off weeds to the weed
pile where the birds can pick at them and eat
the seeds if they'd like.

and yes, we also have a lot of purselane which
i have to keep after, but if you stir it and the
sun is out it will eventually give up. just have
to make sure to get it before it starts setting
seeds. i wish i could get the regular moss roses
of the various colors to grow here as well as the
purselane, but it has not ever worked out that
well. at least they are both edible in an
emergency.
