STANDING WEED PULLER

Removing weeds from your lawn is not fun. It’s time consuming and depending on the tools you use, it can lead to a painful back and knees. In this post, I’m going to share with you the standing weed puller that I use and what are some of the pros and cons of using this tool.

I previously used this hand held weed remover.

This tool does the job but it means you needed to go on your knees and use strength in your wrists and arms to remove the weeds. If you have lots of weeds, then you’re definitely going to have sore knees and will end up with a sore back.

I decided to buy a standing weed puller which simply meant I didn’t need to go on my knees. Here’s the standing weed puller I purchased:

My final thoughts

  • It was definitely much easier to use the standing weed puller. It takes a few tries to get the hang of it
  • Removing the weeds is easier when the ground is wet
  • The unit wobbles a little because the green middle plastic part is not strong
  • The height of handles seemed a little low when it’s inserted into the ground to pull the weeds. It would have been better if it was higher. My height is 179cm
  • It’s definitely worth getting one and they are not expensive
  • I accidentally managed to bend one of the 3 metal prongs
