Watering the ground before starting can help to bring more root out with each pull and can also reduce the size of the hole the tool leaves behind it. In a nice soft soil like in my allotment beds, it brings the full root with it every time. Next up is the soil, if your soil is really compacted and heavy then again you will bring less root with you. To start with positioning matters a lot, if you don’t position the jaws right above the heart of the weed then it is going to struggle to bring the full root with it. How much root you bring up depends on a few different factors and is not the same every time. This pulls the weed up along with a good chunk of its root. You then stand on the metal level and pull the weed out with a slight lever action. Then as you push down the jaws clamp tightly against your weed. You push these serrated jaws into the ground around your identified target. On this model there are four but others have three of these jaws. That really is the only drawback that I found. Yes, it can leave holes in the lawn when catching a tough weed, but you can easily push grass back over it and it will go back to normal in a couple of weeks. The weed puller has metal spiked ‘jaws’ on the end. Given the back-saving design of this device, it’s a definite thumbs up from this gardener. I will be talking mainly about the Fiskars weed puller here as that is the only one I have used myself but from looking at other weed pullers available online they seem to follow similar principles. Pulling up nettles How does a weed puller work? You can find the full Fiskars weed puller review here. It worked well on the dandelions and grass too, with the dandelions it managed to pull out a good chunk of the taproot and on grass, it also brought plenty of root with it. You can get rid of them quickly and easily without ever having to worry about getting stung. This is what we use at the allotment now if we ever spot any nettles. I tested the Fiskars Xact Weed Puller on nettles, dandelions and grass, some tricky customers and it fared really well on all three.
