What is it called? in Weeding in the Sidewalk Cracks

By stetchworth

I don't like to see grass or weeds growing in the cracks of my sidewalk and I don't use chemicals in my yard. I found this weeding tool at Walmart for less than $4.00 and it pulls them out by their roots and if you use it after a rainfall it is even easier to get them out.

I really need one of those. And it's been raining here for weeks. Great time to clean the cracks out.

That is a serious looking tool! I can see using it to edge my creeping grass at the patio edge.
Thanks!

I used to have one of those in Europe and was never able to find it here. Walmart, what do you know

I need one of those tools! Have to start looking around for it at Walmart or another place that has gardening stuff. Or, maybe a garden center.

Nice tool

Do you know what it is called?

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29

Been there, done that!

We have one and attached to a long broom handle so you can do it while standing. We use ours to clean between the cracks of the decking boards to get rid of any tree debris. The decking boards are quite tight together and this tool works perfect to run down between them.
