1. Wait a moment....
I'm not sure I understand. Could you please repeat that?

4. 3 days and a sore back later I can truly say that I have won the
battle. Actually, I like weeding but things had gotten a little out of hand. What I don't like is trying to pull the grass that tries to grow in the garden.

3. Weeds are simply god's way of telling you the mulch isn't deep enough

5. I just did an unsuccessful search for the ***best*** weeding tool I've ever found.
I've no photobucket account so I'll just offer up a visual description.

It's a hand tool and at the end of the wooden handle the blade is shaped like a half of a teardrop and the metal is curved at about a 60 degree angle to its handle. The blade is 6 &1/2 inches long and at its base it's 3 inches wide.

I bought it at Agway well over a decade ago but it's not on their website.

It is the perfect shape for ripping up the roots in their entirety.

If you ever see one of these tools then seriously consider snagging it. It'll reduce the frequency of the need to weed enormously.

I think it was less than 20 bucks back then and far more than well worth it.

Glad you got through the wave of weeds.
