Think of the Japanese garden knife as a trowel that can do other tasks.

Collinear hoe via Elliot Coleman is great for quick weed removal
especially when the weeds are very young. AKA less work. The warren
does it all. I went with both. Walk about your neighborhood and see
what tools folks use.

Johnnyseeds.com offers them. (Collinear)

Sadly, my neighborhood is mostly a barren wasteland. Most people feel
defeated by the deer, so they plant nothing but boring evergreens and
marigolds. Lots of chemical-heads, too, walking around with little tanks on
their backs, spraying whatever they think needs it. The other major tool I
see in use is the leaf blower, and the noisier, the better.

I guess I'm used to my tools, because I can't see how a fork would be useful
for weeding, unless you stuck it under the weeds and twisted it to lift out
the weeds. That could be murder on the wrists after a while.

The fork that you stick under the weeds and twist is like the
description of the Ergonica Weed Twister. Although several different
companies make weed twisters of different types, this one has two tines
that are forked and also coiled. The twisting is more efficient
because of the coil, so it doesn't tweak the wrists that much, unless
you poke into a large immovable object of some kind.

The World of Weeds website shows images of over 20 different types of
small and large weed pullers, weed poppers, weed twisters, and other
weed control contraptions.

You *******. I thought I was done spending money on garden tools.

Hi Doug,
Can this life also be used on the lawn?

Bruce


I assume you mean "knife"! You can use it anyplace you want! But, if

you're

referring to the 2nd tool, that's made for flower beds where the soil's
loose. Lawns tend to get packed down too much for scuffle hoes and similar
tools.


Can it be used to pick up dog poo?

How are women like dog poo?
