My dirt is hard, It's like I'm just combing the weeds.😊

[amymacquarrie]

If my soil was that soft, I wouldn't mind weeding.

Really good advice if the soil is like yours - I'm literally jealous.
I WISH my soil/weed combination worked like that - lol. My clay-heavy Michigan soil would laugh at that rake action and leaving the pulled weeds to "compost in place" would create a growth explosion of biblical proportions - lol. It's amazing how well weeds can grow in soil that nothing else will grow in around here.
Even my stirrup rake struggles to make a difference.
The struggle is real folks - lol. Keep fighting the good fight.

I’m going to try this right now. I’ve been working my butt off weeding the garden by hand. Thanks!

[dddduu]

Yeah, I wish it was that easy. Nicely placed weed there at the end. Great for camera.

I like this!!! New uses for tools I already have. 👍

The key for me is make sure ground is well watered...huge difference.

Thanks for sharing, I really needed to know this information

Excellent. Similar principle to using a stirrup hoe, or a dutch push pull hoe. Everyone will have to do a little extra work at times with bigger weeds, but do this type of thing every few weeks and it really makes a difference! Less time hand weeding is easier on the back!

Thanks for your wonderful demonstration. I will try this with smaller rock landscaping. I think this should work. Thanks again

[deejt]

Thanks. I have loads of these little seedlings. This should work.

One needs a good rake just like yours. Heavy ish, short prongs, all metal. Not a flimsy thing. I weed parts of my garden just like this. It does work well.

Those weeds didn’t even give a fight. Not like the weeds in Georgia.

[nunyabidness]

I must have Frankenstein weeds in my backyard because even sumo squatting and leaning back all the way does not putt the weeds out all the way

[ClosetWorkshop]

you telling me for 40 years I have been doin it wrong? huh?

[emilhozan]

Wouldn't letting the weeds compost in place allow them to regrow? Isn't complete removal required?

[wemuk]

Good stuff! Sideways, why didn’t I think about that? 😂

[ElderandOakFarm]

This is exactly how I do it! Only problem is, where I live, we get so much rain, the ground stays so wet, that they will re-root a lot ofnthe time, so I have to compist them.

[wiewioraa]

Will work on most of the weeds, but won't on horse tail ;) Also after you do that try not to step on it as they can easily grow back. Let them dry out, the best when it's done on a dry day.

Always enjoy Rain
And after that

Enjoy pulling weeds

They are so easy to pull after a good rain . After that
Put hand full of grass seeds mixed in soil in those weeds pulled holes
