Use the Enviroweeder weed removal tool to remove tap roots the environmentally friendly way. This very heavy-duty tool is ideal for removing unwanted weeds in your garden without the use of pesticides. Simply place the Enviroweeder on top of the offending weed (dandelions or thistle) push down on the handle bars until the prongs are in the ground, turn the handles a quarter turn, and pull up. You will find the weed is attached to the prongs, now hit the release button and presto you are done. Move on to the next weed.
