So how do you go about getting rid of these weeds? There are many different types of tools you can use which can make the process much easier and faster. We will now dive into the details of some of the more popular tools.

One of the popular tools is the Hori Hori knife. This knife is very much shaped similarly to a straight edge knife that can be used for a multitude of purposes. Due to the shape, it makes it very easy for you to dig out weeds and is also used to extract bonsai trees. Many people use it as a sporting knife for much more than just weeding. You can use it to cut, saw, chop and even measure which will no doubt make your life much easier.

The hook is curved and one side of the blade is made up of serrated edges which make it very easy for you to cut and pull out weeds. The hook shape is designed to pull any plants that may be trapped in cracks and the forked tip is designed to pull up tap rooted weeds.

The Cape Cod Weeder is another tool that you can use and it was developed by a woman who lived in Cape Cod many years ago. This tool has grown in popularity throughout the world for good reason. It makes it easy to remove pesky weeds and unwanted plants that are positioned very close to your cherished plants.
