Grampa's Weeder

4.8 stars out of 5 based on 5 reviews.

Get to the root of the problem. Invented in 1913, Grampa's Weeder is an effective foe against uninvited garden invaders. After falling out of production during WW2 due to a shortage of materials, it was rediscovered in a barn a few years ago, and has been a best-seller ever since. It extracts weeds effortlessly, roots and all, with a step of the foot and a tilt of the handle – no bending, pulling or kneeling!

Ash handle with cast iron head.

“Useful and good value” by Heather

4 stars out of 5

Grampa's Weeder

This is a sturdy, ingenious, well made tool and excellent value for money. I found it didn't pull all the root up but it did come close. I used it most successfully in the lawn where it made less mess than a trowel would have done. In the flower beds the looser soil made the levering action a little less successful but it still worked adequately. It won't win the weeding war on its own but it is another weapon in the battle.

“Excellent - really works” by Rachael

5 stars out of 5

Grampa's Weeder

I have clay soil, so can use this throughout my flowerbeds. I have a lot of perennial weeds that I have been keeping at bay for years, but have never been able to dig out with their long tap roots. As they are just beginning to appear, I went out this week with my new Grampa's Weeder and started tackling them. It was amazing - once I got the hang of it (and it really is very simple), it was lifting out the weeds and the entire root intact - some of the roots were a foot long. The best thing of all is that it barely disturbs the soil around the weed, protecting the plants I do want.

“Excellent tool” by Mrs Simmonds

5 stars out of 5

Grampa's Weeder

Having recently moved house and inherited a lawn full of dandelions, daisies and other weeds. I found this tool to be excellent in uprooting them.
Difficult to use at first but once I got the hang of it I found it easy to uproot the weeds. Like the other reviewer it is not much good on a flower bed with loose soil.
