Spear and Jackson wooden handle root puller

This root puller with a wooden handle Spear & Jackson is designed to efficiently and effortlessly weed, it is a tool that will become essential in the vegetable garden as well as in the ornamental garden. Its steel head in the shape of a two-pronged fork penetrates the soil without difficulty, and the rounded pivot on the handle acts as a lever, making it easier to pull out weeds. This tool is also equipped with an ergonomic wooden handle, which provides optimal grip.

The root puller is used to precisely weed small plots. This tool particularly excels when it comes to removing taproots, which are deeply rooted in the soil and difficult to pull out without breaking them. They can be found, for example, in carrots, parsnips, or even in oaks, but also in many weeds such as dandelions, plantains, thistles, sowthistles, or dock. To kill this type of plant, it is necessary to remove at least the first 5-7 centimetres of the root along with the rosette of leaves, sometimes the entire root. In general, leaving a small part of the root deep in the soil will not allow the undesirable plant to survive. The head sinks into the soil at the neck of the plant, by pressing on the handle. Once the head is sufficiently sunk, the user places the pivot on the ground by pressing on the handle to create leverage. The head comes up with the root, and all that remains is to grab the plant by its foliage to remove it.

This model consists of a beech handle, a wood known for its longevity, and a socket where the steel head is attached. A hole in the handle allows the tool to be hung on a nail. As it requires working in a kneeling position, it is suitable for small surfaces (flower beds, vegetable gardens, base of a hedge) or for the maintenance of raised vegetable beds or flower boxes.
