The Leonard weeder looks and feels good.
It is so easy to weed. Best Weeder !
My wife and I take care of a large property with many flower beds and two English gardens with lawns in the center. I have tried several hand tools (hand trowels, dandelion picker) in the past for weeding in the different areas. When I first used the Leonard Weeder, I found it required very little effort to dig out the weeds and made very little disturbance to the surrounding area. The tool is very sturdy and easy to handle. Thank you for a great tool.
This weeder looked a bit awkward and potentially heavy. However, because it is aluminum, it is very lightweight and the shape of the weeder creates very good leverage for pulling heavy-rooted weeds. Overall a very good weeder, and much more functional than the weeders available locally in nurseries and home improvement stores. The only detracting factor is that the finish is aluminum, which creates an issue for me, because I often bleach my gardening hand tools. Due to the great design of this weeder, my husband was actually willing to do the vast majority of our weeding this summer. You can't beat that!
This tool is excellent. It really works. As you push down in the soil it will get deep under the roots and easily grab the entire weed. It is well made and I am certain I will have it for years.
