Gardeners praise five-star weeding tool that 'saves time'
Neatening up gardens doesn't need to be a chore with the right tools For many gardening enthusiasts, maintaining a tidy, healthy garden can be both a joy and a challenge. As seasons change and growth accelerates, it's easy for unwanted plants to take over and getting the correct tools is important. In today's fast-paced world, gardeners are constantly looking for smarter ways to keep their outdoor spaces thriving without spending hours hunched over the soil. Now, they are in luck as they can grab the Orientools weed puller for £31.99 down from £32.99 on Amazon. This manual weed remover is built to last, made from lightweight aluminium with a strong, rust-resistant design. It features stainless steel tines and durable steel needles for pulling out weeds easily. The comfortable PP grip handle helps reduce hand fatigue, so shoppers can work longer without discomfort. Whether it's removing grass or small flowers, this tool helps get the job done with less effort. Using the weeder is simple - shoppers just stand upright, push the tool into the ground near the root, let the tines grab hold, tilt to one side and pull. The long steel claws dig deep to remove weeds at the root and the adjustable handle protects shoppers back and makes the weeding more efficient. When finished, it disassembles easily for compact storage and due to its strong grip and versatile design, it works well on all types of weeds - no extra tools needed. For some alternative options, shoppers could try the Gardena Weed Puller for £40 from Argos, which is said to be the ideal tool to effectively remove unsightly weeds in lawns and flower beds. It is also suitable for outdoor use, is weather resistant and weighs 1.2kg. Another option is the Draper Long Handled Weed Puller - Green/Black for £56.99, which is designed to remove root weeds, has a three-claw design and is lightweight. Shoppers have rated the Orientools weed puller a high 4.3 out of 5 star rating from 2,757 reviews on Amazon. One person said: 'Functional, durable, time saving tool.' Another said: 'Works much better than I expected and is easier on my back than kneeling. It does create holes in our hard-ish clay soil but it's easy to separate the weed from the soil core and pop it back in the hole! Holes in grass are almost invisible and probably help aerate the lawn if anything.' 'This tool has proved absolutely indispensable for pulling up large weeds like dandelions and the like from my lawns. It is very well made and the process in which weeds are pulled up is easy and effective,' said another shopper. Not everyone agreed, however, as one person wrote: 'This weeder was bought so that I wouldn't have to bend because of my arthritis. However, I didn't find that it worked all that well for me. On some weeds, it didn't reach far enough to get all the roots out.' Another said: 'We have used it for the weeds in the grass. If you take the time to angle it appropriately, you will get it, otherwise, it will take a handful of attempts. One of the prongs broke off after the first week of trying.' Despite this, with a wide range of great reviews and money off, the ORIENTOOLS Weed Puller sounds like a great quality choice.

Fizzy drinks contain acidic ingredients which, yes, will effectively kill weeds - but also any other plant it touches. More importantly, it will impact your soil quality because of the artificial sugar content. While this may not seem like a bad thing because plants need sugar to survive, the issue is, the sugar in fizzy drinks, is the wrong type of sugar plants need, and it cannot be absorbed by them. Instead, the plant which has been covered in soda will pull water from the roots of surrounding plants, causing them all to become hydrated. So yes, you might kill a weed or two, but you'll also see a lot of your other plants and flowers dying. To add to this, the microbes and underground critters that like the sugars found in fizzy drinks, are often not good for plants - and some of them can be actively harmful. If you have pesky weeds, the old fashioned way is the best. Get a kitchen knife, a weed puller or brush and remove them by hand.

''However, it works best in border's and flower beds as it did leave a rather big hole in my lawn which had to be filled. ''Therefore I would be cautious about using it on lawns but perfect for flower beds and borders. ''Doesn't work on driveways or patios only on soil.''
