Similar to the dandelion diggers made by high end European tool companies, but readily available and at a fraction of the price.
I too, was tired of seeing dandelions and other weeds with a long tap root continually attempt a takeover of my garden. Using weeders that work only on the surface has always been futile. Surface weeding tools only break off a small section at the top of a tap root. This leaves the remainder of the root in the ground where it does nothing but sprout more weeds!
This dandelion weeder can get down into the soil and loosen the tap root of almost any deep rooted weed. Once loosened, the tap root of dandelions and other long rooted weeds can be removed from the ground, which will keep the weed from growing back.
In the video, I use power tools to make the dandelion weeder. A hacksaw and files, though slower, will also work. Make one of these and retake your garden. 🙂
