Product Information

Bob Vila has been America’s Handyman since 1979. As the host of beloved and groundbreaking TV series including “This Old House” and “Bob Vila’s Home Again,” he popularized and became synonymous with “do-it-yourself” home improvement. Grampa's stand-up weed puller is the best way to keep your garden beautiful and weed-free without harmful chemicals. Plug-style weeders have a cylindrical base rather than blades and remove plugs of earth. Use this type of product to weed, plant bulbs, or test the soil.

Since stand-up weeders prevent gardeners from kneeling down and bending over, choosing the right height is important. Look for a shaft long enough to pull weeds without having to stoop, hunch, or bend. Stand-up weeders are typically between 35 inches and 45 inches in length, but some models feature an extendable telescopic handle. Pulling weeds can, in fact, cause more weeds to grow, especially if you inadvertently distribute the weeds you’ve pulled across the lawn. While using herbicides is the most effective way to prevent further weed growth, they have disadvantages: They can be harmful to children, pets, and the planet. Q. What do you do with garden weeds? Steel weeders are durable but often costly. Stainless steel and carbon steel won’t rust or corrode when exposed to moisture. While all stand-up weeders serve the same purpose, they differ in the methods they use to extract weeds.

Single-blade weeders have one long blade to either remove weeds or create holes for planting flowers, bulbs, or other plants.

The Ohuhu stand-up weeder uses a well-proven twist-and-pull technique, and despite the low cost, it’s constructed with high-quality materials. The three claws are made from stainless steel, and the main structure is aluminum. Both of these materials are extremely resistant to rust, and as a combination, they deliver strength where required while keeping the tool as light as possible. The 39-inch height is comfortable for a wide range of users, and a simple push-button release makes it easy to deposit the weed where required. The combination of performance, materials, and price makes this one of the best garden tools we looked at for those on a limited budget. This product has a vintage-style aesthetic that makes it look like something in your grandparents’ garage. To use it, place the steel claws around the weed and press down on the pedal. Then, tilt the handle into a leaning position to make the claws grasp the weed and automatically release it after it’s pulled from the ground. Combines ergonomic offset handle, reinforced foot platform with viewing window, and easy-eject mechanism It depends on the type of weed and its condition. After they’re extracted, weeds can be added to the compost heap as long as they aren’t bearing seed heads that might contaminate it. It’s a good idea to leave them to wilt first so they won’t take root and regrow. Otherwise they can be placed in the trash or an organic waste-disposal bin. Some plants that we call weeds, like dandelion and nettles, are actually edible and can be made into drinks or soup. Do make sure you know exactly what you’re dealing with though. Never guess what a weed might be, as some could be toxic. Why Trust Bob Vila

Garden Weasel’s claw pro is designed to serve multiple functions, including weeding, cultivating, aerating, and loosening soil. You can widen or narrow the tines according to the task at hand. The smallest setting works well for weeding, while a medium setting is better for cultivating. Open the tines to their widest diameter for tilling. Some people mentioned that they were concerned the handle might break over time. While I can't imagine that happening since it is made from solid materials, the company stands behind its product and offers a lifetime guarantee in case you have any issues. Since most stand-up weeders remove relatively sizable chunks of earth, they’re not the ideal tool for flower beds or vegetable gardens because of the risk of damaging the surrounding more delicate plants. Garden tip: Weeding is easiest shortly after a rainfall when the ground is slightly moist. Length and Weight
