ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic weeding apparatus consisting of an elongated hollow tubular shaft being attached to a hand grip type body having a coupling for attaching the device to a source of pressurized fluid such as a common garden hose. A positionally adjustable, hook-type gripping device is spaced from the open end of said tube and is arranged with an outwardly extending free end which is arranged to encircle and grip the base of a weed root when the shaft is rotated. A splash shield is positioned above the gripping device to prevent the fluid from flowing upwardly along the shaft so as to protect the user. A valve can be provided in the body of the device for controlling the flow of fluid through the tubular shaft whereby the open end of the shaft can be inserted adjacent to the root of a weed to a depth where the gripping device can attach to the loose weed so as to easily remove it.
