Anyone else seen these on the telly for pulling up dandelions? As soon as I saw the ad I thought 'I know what that would be good for!'

I've really struggled to find one - my local B&Q had them for £30 plus free secateurs but never had any in stock and I've been hunting everywhere. Today I finally found some in a posh garden centre for £37 :eek: And do you know what? Worth every penny!

It's really easy to use, pretty sturdy, pulls out the bulk of the root too if you're careful, don't have to bend much, don't have to touch the ragwort. I'm very pleased. It's still hard work and I'll be aching tomorrow but got a couple of barrows of weeds in a couple of hours and I'm happy with that!
 
Thanks for the recommendation, I was skeptical looking at the adverts thinking they cannot be all that good, but glad to hear that they do work. I will def think about getting one for the garden. :)
 
i can definately second that,i bought one recently and really can t believe how easy it makes the job it s also going to save me so much time,would definately recommend
 
Very comfortable! My wife, who hates the fill, from this device not to tear. So it came to Razh that I dulected all the dandelions in the site, and then dug away from themselves over the site. Here would be still upset some device to fill the tires to be so easy! Look for the model we look at our fiskars.
 
Yep, we've got one - brilliant for ragwort! It takes the back break out of it.
 
if you have lots of the ragwort at the rosette stage Barrier H spray is excellent, it knocks the rosettes out in 24 hours and is a natural product. you need to keep horses off it till they disappear but they shrivel up very quickly
