- How is this different from a regular hand trowel?
- The forked tip is made to catch and lever out taproots, while a trowel is for digging and planting. It also has a longer 19-inch handle for more reach.
- Do I have to kneel to use it?
- Yes. It is a hand tool, so you work close to the ground. It gives more leverage than pulling by hand but less reach than a stand-up weeder.
- Will it work on dandelions and thistles?
- The fork is designed to grip taproots so you can lever them out. In loose soil it works well; in hard, dry ground you may need to loosen around the root first.
- Is it heavy to carry around the garden?
- No. It weighs 9.6 ounces, so it is easy to carry from bed to bed.
- Does it need assembly or maintenance?
- It is a one-piece hand tool with no moving parts. Wipe off soil and dry the steel after use to limit rust.
- Where is the Misopily Garden Weeding Tool 19 Inch cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $55.08, as of our latest check.
