I own every type of hoe available to mankind and personally find the Dutch
hoe best provided the weeds are small.

Do you have a Kirpi? I use that more than anything for weeding.

I have 2 and have given some as presents. All agree it is better than
anything for hand-weeding.

Why do weeds grow ten times faster than vegetables?
That's partly what makes them weeds!

I am making a point, this year of picking off every dandelion flower I
see, to prevent seeding. When I have time the flower leads me to the
plant to dig it up, or give a quick squirt of glyphosate.

I've not got one of those. They look good though, so maybe...

I'll have to give the application of glyphosate a go too. I do use the
stuff, mainly for the drive with a big sprayer. I wonder if it can be
applied to individual weeds such as dandelions with a small artists paint
brush without getting any on surrounding plants?
